I hear most on here discuss KW Coilovers. Locally here in ATL I have spoken with a BMW driving instructor and other shop owners and they all recommend Bilstein PSS9 coilovers.
Comments on comparison or pros/cons?
thx

I have the bilstein sport shocks/struts so I can't really talk to the coilovers, however when I was part of the e46 forum I know that most guys there ran the pss9's and had nothing but good things to say about them. That being said I love my bilstein sport shocks paired with the H&R sports springs.

KW's all the way. i know several ppl who have PSS9/10's and have compared it to KW's, they much prefer KW's.
also, keep in mind the price difference. if you decide to go KW's, hit me up and i'll hook it up!

Both are awesome. The PSS10's/KW V3's adjust the rebound/damping, but it's expensive. The KW V2's are more afforable. You can't go wrong with either. I personally have the Bilstein shocks/H&R Sport springs and I love them...BUT I will be changing to KW V2's shortly

ive been more impressed with KW setups for a while now
I have the V2's being installed on my car
I would go that route as they are fully adjustable and you can find some great deals on them now.
