bilstein coilovers

techno10 · 04-30-2018, 08:26 PM

I have 2012 sdrive35iS with EDC and I'm looking to replace it as the car right now feels disconnected and has a lot of movement front to back (accelerating and stopping). Couple of questions:

1) has anyone tried the Bilstein coilover package for the sdrive35iS?
2) Can I use the KW EDC delete kit and install the Bilstein coilovers?

I had bad luck with KW support in the past so much so that I'd like to avoid buying the complete kit from them. From my searching on the forums it seems like a lot of people went with KW variant 3 but wanted to see if anyone at all did the Bilstein kit.

thanks,
Mike

Barry Battle @ 3DMMotorsport is currently fitting my E89 Z4 with Ohlins R&T coilovers. I drove them today, even though the car has not been corner weighted, ride height set, or completely aligned. It is way more pliable than when it was on M-adaptiv suspension, or with H&R springs. Feel free to ask me more questions, or contact him directly if you're interested.
