Item Interest

Picking up a Z4m coupe this week and need to get some coils for it.

Let me know if you guys have any for sale. I'm not particular on brand just let me know what you have and what kind of price point your at

avsbmw · 07-12-2012, 07:39 AM

used coilovers do not pop up very often here. I ended up snagging a used set of H&Rs and love them. For the price point compared to KWs you could always buy H&R new. I love them btw.

I would talk to Tristan at http://www.circuitmotorsports.net/, I just put BC Coils on my E39 M5, and I LOVE them! They are the best suspension setup I have had out of the 13 BMW's (many shock/spring combos) I have owned. I am going to get a set for the M Coupe once I get it.

I might be selling my TCK DA/SA. Still trying to decide if I want to go back to stock.

yes according to a search on these, but that wouldnt bother me depending on how loud it was.....

RobMCoupe · 08-28-2012, 02:57 PM

All DA TCK make some noise. There were so much complaint TCK will not accept returns and noted this is as designed.

The reason I am thinking of selling is I wanted to go with AST 4150 and Swift springs. There are no new details and kinda tire of waiting. Besides, I do not track my car much and its my daily. The plan is to go back to stock with Eiblach Pro-Kit.

I reported the clunking noise after 3 months. The indy did my original install was getting tire of me and clunking was so back I can't drive the car. They contacted TCK and waited for about a month before a solution. Recently, I replaced front driver strut under warranty. This is when it got intersting. Talked to Eric with TCK and paid for them to ship me a replacement. Another indy shop did the warranty work and see it was different part for the replacement. Talk to Eric again with some pictures. TCK determined it was an E36 strut I had. So I have to pay again to send the correct strut.

The only problem with E36 strut is it cannot be lower as much. I didn't find an issue with that as the ride height is perfect at this time. It is 13 inch from center hub to fender. The set have about 50k miles with a few track events. The noise never bother me.

thanks for the honest review... the tck units are very capable but unfortunatly ive read many experiences like yours...... fingers crossed but my kw clubsports are silent so far!!!! if they start they start to rattle and bang.... they are coming off.

Dubsesd.... but you can make them harder or softer, raise or lower as much as you like... true?

I might pull the trigger at the end of the month on a set of BC coils. Also, how practical are the camber plates? do they really work?

I'm never messed around with any suspension system... share some knowledge if you got some please.

Thanks dude.
