Master List of E9x Coilover Kits

[donovan]

More information on everyone please

[marcel b]

what about the KW competition 2way (about same price as the clubsport) and the competition 3way (double the price roughly)

[Scalajo]

Great info. Thanks!

[Sedan_Clan]

So TEIN didn't make a kit for the E9X eh?

[sensi09]

Thanks for the info. Interesting how the PSS10s are the only ones who have similar spring rates front and rear.

[eeghie]

Great overview,

some questions:
- what is the use/relevance of the wheel rate as opposed to the spring rate?

- I'm used to spring rates in SI (Systeme Internationale) and they are defined as force / distance: [Newton / meter, N/m]. With Lb being mass and not force, how do the mentioned rates mentioned here translate to SI-units?

SI spring rate value = Imperial Spring Rate value *2.2046 (for Lbs-> Kg) *9.8 (for mass->force) * 0.0254 (for 1/inch -> 1/meter) any thoughts?

- Is there any comparative info on the (minimum e/o maximum) damper rates of these systems available? Both SI or imperial values are welcomed? SI -unit is force * time / distance: [Newton * second / meter, Ns/m]

Late reply but here it is anyway.

Wheel rate is what the car actually experiences due to leverage. Just like a car jack, it is much easier (less force) to jack up the car when you have a longer handle. Same principle applies.

lb here is pound-force. Just google xx inch per pound to newton per mm.

So many to choose from. I am gathering if I want to retain my EDC functionality, springs are the way to go.... Or just say screw it, and get a nice set of COs......

This is actually incorrect. Its actually the exact opposite. Most can lower much more in the rear.

[mrsideways]

Are there other spring rates for different option packages (say EDC vs non EDC) or E90 vs E92?

[m3an]

should add when info found:


D2 Coilovers= upper pillow ball mounts, 32 way adjustable w/ camber adjustment

HKS Coilovers

H & R Coilovers
