Well if it doesnt matter if the shocks function properly or not, why include them at all? Just put springs on the car. That’s way cheaper.

it’s a fucking 15 year old bmw, these coilover kits are 20-30% of the price of the car itself :rofl

it’s just a car, theyre just shocks.

and if you want to get all “ITS A BMW OMG” then why not replace the suspension with one that was designed by millions of dollars worth of engineering?

IE: stock suspension

why? because its doesnt match the purpose for the vehicle.

ksports do, why?

cheap? check  
adjustable? check  
easily replaced/repaired for cheap? check

to the asshats that do not understand what the purpose for this car is. its a daily driver/pussy magnet while my corvette sits in the garage collecting dust and roting away. this car is not intended for any type of race as of right now. so all i want is a cheap set of coilovers to slam the pig and get the pussys wet.

ksports will do just fine as long as there are no more troubles after i fix them. ultimately i would love to turn the car into a stright up road race car but im a baller on a budget and right now…i cant. so…until then… i will keep using the k-sports and these periods…because well…it builds suspence and makes my penis…hard!

Srs, source oem parts, then cut springs. call it a day. Amsterdam style yo. Your car will handle better and it’ll go faster due to weight reduction. Also, someone of your size should invest in cocaine. It’ll help you cut weight. Then you can be even faster.

Umm So why bother with Coilovers? – Just buy lowering springs and some good dampers

I Many of us have been down the road of buying crappy parts to save money and then end up spending money on the good stuff later on. So … if you really need and want coilovers, save a little more and spend money on something that will actually last, work and if desired be able to be sold at the end to get some money back.

If you are thinking of using this car at the track EVER buy the c/os that actually work and you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble…

It’s not a 50% price increase we’re talking about here, more like 15-20% if you find a good used set of coilovers. This is more than you’d lose selling / shipping a cheaper set and then trying to source one that actually works for more serious use later on.

As an engineer I thought you’d appreciate the dyno information Jesse pointed out- it helped point me in the right direction.

Good luck.

As for E36 being a pu$$y magnet… Maybe for big broad shouldered Germans that answer to “Helga”…

And some of their women too
