Koni yellows + h&r sport springs

Anyone running this setup/can offer some feedback on it? Also, how much did the setup run you installed out the door?

It's very low. You will have 0 wheel gap all the way around.
Front bumper will scrape on steep drive ways but cornering will be awesome with no rub(with stock sport tire size).
Complete koni yellow will run about $650.00 plus $250.00 for springs.
Installation will be about $200.00 to $350.00 and $80.00 for alignment.
And if you need other suspension parts, that's extra too.
The good thing about koni and bilstein is that they are lifetime warranty.
Thats why I went with koni. I've had bmw performance ones and they only lasted 50k miles.
Save your old ones cus you might have to put in old ones if you need to send the konis back for some reason,Something I forgot to do.

^ That pretty much sums it up. If you want a more conservative drop consider the Eibach.

Would you recommend koni yellows over the FSD?

I have this exact suspension setup on my E90. The pricing listed above is correct. I really enjoy my setup. It's low but I love how my car sits and rides.

don't know, I never had fsd but I think in general people prefer yellows.
fsd is best paired with eibach sport also.

Looks super clean but do you rub at all? Also, what front bumper/lip is that?

No rubbing. Without my rear fenders rolled I'm sure I would.

I hate the harshness when I hit a bump and it feels like my car slams. What can I do to soften the blow? Stock set up, 335XI, M Sport, 19's. Go 18's, Koni FSD w/M3 bushings? What do you suggest??

I wish I'd gotten the install prices you got.
I paid 3.2 hours for front and 2.8 hours for rear. Plus $149 for alignment.
The kit was missing some parts and they had to go find about $23 of parts.
Was over $800 for just the install.
PR3CI5N, what are you running for tires? I think maybe you responded to me in another thread. Not sure if it was you.
What do you think about running 235/35/19 et35 on front and 265/30/19 et35 on rears with this setup?
