BMW Perf Susp w/Koni Sports-Anyone?

cvc 22349a · 09-14-2010, 12:51 AM

Has anyone installed the Koni Sport dampers with BMW performance suspension? If so, where did you set the rebound on the dampers? Any feedback with this set up would be greatly appreciated.

I plan to upgrade my suspension to include M3 subframe bushings and front control arms kit next year and am torn between Dinan Stage 2 w/rear sway bar and the BMW performance suspension. I'm leaning toward the BMW perf susp, but I'd prefer to install Koni sports instead of the dampers included in the BMW kit.

Not positive, but I've heard Dinan sets the Sports halfway. For street, you might want them slightly softer with BMW Performance springs.

why do you want to miss match the parts? i tried the performance suspension today on a 335i and it is superb, all the parts work together.

I don't have experience with the BMW performance kit dampers but the ZSP dampers were crap.
I might just end up changing to Koni sports and leaving the ZSP springs, but I want to reduce body roll a bit.
