Coilovers Suggestions?
Hello, I am needing your input on what coilovers to get. I have a Z4 2.5si as a daily driver and currently rolling on H&R springs with stock shocks. I feel that the ride is very bouncy and loose so I am looking at purchasing coilovers hoping that the ride quality and handling will improve.
I don't track or anything so it will strictly be for street, however I need something that will be able to handle some spirited driving once in a while. I was looking at the KW V3's but would it be a waste of money if I don't even track? Should I go with the Taiwanese brands such as D2 or K-Sport instead? Please feel free to leave your input, thanks ahead! |

if all you care about is stance, ie you won't ever see track time then look into h&r coils, those could be had for pretty cheap. other option is blistein pss9's which is what i'd lean towards if i were you.

The KWv3s are not a waste of money. They are pretty damn good and improve both daily ride and spirited driving performance---depending on how you adjust them. I had mixed results with the cheaper asian-sourced stuff. KW=german quality=slightly better depending on whom you ask. Many people run the KWs with great results. They are the 'surest' bet for a good upgrade outcome in my opinion. I ran a ground-control setup for a month, returned them, and spent my money on the KWs. Again, it depends on what you want from the car. KWs will definitely meet the goals you described ( i.e. better street ride, better handling, no track).
