KW v1 vs oem sport suspension

JayP · 03-11-2013, 07:56 PM

Would it be a noticable upgrade as far as handling goes?

How much stiffer are the KW v1 compare to the oem sport suspension ?

Car is a 09 335xi sedan with sport pack.

Thanks !

First and foremost no such thing as sport suspension for xi, they're all the same. Now that that's said and done the V1's are a huge improvement. They're a very comfortable ride considering they're coils and they make the car handle much better. They get rid of a lot of that boaty feeling from the xdrive and make it feel much more planted at all speeds. In terms of comfort, everyone i've taken for a ride is surprised when I tell them the car is on coils. The V1's handle bumps perfectly imo

So, your telling me the sport package on my car doesnt include sport suspension?

Alright that solves my probleme then.

I had blistein sport with HnR springs on my 328. I m looking for something that ll handle as good but height adjustable !

1100-1200 for KW V1. around 200-300 for install. Then another 100 or so for an alignment which is needed.
