New coilovers installed!

chiro444 · 06-18-2019, 01:16 PM

Shout out to Autotalent in Gardena for a great job and helping me decide on my coilovers. I originally wanted to have the KW HAS put in but since my car has 82k miles, Golan recommended KW V1's since the shocks would give out soon anyway.

Autotalent is a great shop with some really nice cars that they were working on. Golan was super friendly and took me for a quick tour.

The car rides and handles really well and looks great too. I really like the height adjustment as well.

Looks perfect!

Thanks! Now I just have to remember how low the front end is and to compensate with driveways.

I'm over 100K.. assume I need to refresh my suspension eventually.. does this work with stock EDC? Also, what's a cost effective way to update/upgrade a worn out stock oem E90 suspension with edc? cost?

sparkling graphite is so nice!l looks good!

The EDC won't work after the install but I really don't miss it. The ride is stiffer than comfort but softer than the stiffest EDC setting, a really nice compromise. As far as cost, the V1's were about $1800 installed then the more adjustable v2's and v3's go up from there. I also have spacers to fill in the wheel gap.

There is an error code for the EDC that I'll need to get coded out for about $100.

Thanks, the combo of color and wheels weren't my first choice but now I just love it.

Insanely clean 08, get it off the street!

Nice work man, would you say that stiffness is now about the same as the 'Normal' (1 light) setting on the EDC? Or is it more/less?

Considering getting these if they're not too stiff, otherwise will have to shoot for the V3s so I can reduce the stiffness...

Thanks

Yes, they are similar to the normal setting. There's no rebound adjustment on these but that works fine for my situation.
