Hi Everyone,

I'm proud to introduce KSport Coilovers, an affordable and reliable coilover system for our BMWs. For those who haven't heard about KSport, they have been around for over 10 yrs and are really big in the drift scene. Their corporate offices are in Arizona and all warranty work and replacement parts will be services in the US.

KONTROL PRO DAMPER SYSTEM
* 36 levels of adjustable damping
* Top poly bushing/pillowball gives a more comfortable and quiet ride
* Made from high quality 6061 aluminum with T6 for increased hardness
* Compression/Rebound adjustable
* Adjustable spring perch for height adjustment
* Adjustable body allowing maximum suspension travel (lowering car doesn't change spring travel)
* Pillowball top mount with adjustable camber (not available for some models)
* Monotube high pressure design reduces oil leakage
* Electroplated body for protection from corrosion and rust
* 18 Month Limited Warranty

APPLICATIONS
1 Series 04-up
3 Series 93-up
5 Series 97-up
M3 93-05
M5 99-03
Z3 96-up

REVIEWS
"I got my KSport coilovers yesterday, today Michael (acuteperformance) came down to my house to lend a hand on the install. Initial reaction? The ride is much more comfortable, stiffer but without sacrificing ride. I will update this thread I get some more miles on them and can provide a more comprehensive review. For those that are not familiar KSport is pretty big in the drift scene and were mentioned to me by some friends when I was looking for coilovers. When I found out Michael was selling these I jumped on em, the build quality looks great and the bushings on the upper mounts should eliminate the rattle normally associated with coilovers." - pjinca

"I've clocked maybe 200 miles so far and the drive has been fun. I may play around with the dampening more to tweak it just to my tastes, but so far so good." - redEYEjedi

Are their aftermarket suspension options for a 2005 545i with Sport Package and Dynamic Suspension (correct terminology?) that would not trigger any errors?

do you mean active roll stabilization?

So far loving my KSports, steering feedback is much improved, body roll is nearly gone and the ride is still comfortable. Thanks again Michael

"The Dynamic Drive system consists of a hydraulic valve block with integrated sensors, a hydraulic pump coupled to the power steering pump, a lateral acceleration sensor, a control unit, several hydraulic lines, and two active stabilizer bars with rotating hydraulic actuators. These active stabilizers apply the hydraulic pressure to the stabilizer bar to obtain a stabilizing torque, which counteracts the roll motion of the vehicle."

The Dynamic Drive system (ARS) doesn't affect the shock assembly but uses the sway bars under the car to stabilize the car. So to answer your question, you can use any aftermarket suspension and it shouldn't affect the ARS at all. The KSports would work for you just fine. I had a 545i with Sports Package and did not trigger any errors when I had coilovers.

Height Adjustment - KSport vs Traditional (KW, HR)



Ring A
Ring B
Ring F
Shaft C
Shaft D

Traditional Way to Adj. Height
Loosen Ring B
Loosen Ring A
Tighten Ring B

[b]KSport Way to Adj. Height
DO NOT TOUCH RING A or B. The spring should be snug in there NOT TIGHT.
Loosen Ring F
Wrap your hands around Shaft C and turn it clockwise to lower into Shaft D.
Tighten Ring D

So why is KSport's way better? Imagine if you did it the traditional way, (1) you're altering the spring travel which causes the bounce and (2) it also causes the ping ping noise when you turn. Now keep in mind, not everyone experiences the sounds if they don't lower the car enough.

Make sense?
