Intercooler or Coilovers

who's ur daddy? · 07-28-2009, 01:48 PM

Another poll for you mofos. Just because I believe in the democratic process...

Assuming I install the sways, which one would you pick: intercooler or coilovers. For the coilovers, it'd be nice to lower it a bit, but I'm primarily concerned with getting rid of the softness in the stock 323xi suspension.

Choose wisely my friends...

coilovers..hands down. hahaha dude, enough with the polls...jusrry up and just buy your shizzy and install them goodies

i need to think about getting a fmic for my 323i too....but i havent been able to take it out of storage yet cause you still lookin for me

assuming you already have the intercooler, just need to install it, then get the coilovers!!

H&R Coilovers

coilovers, it is obvious after I sat in your car vs Sonis. You need to lower the car so the center of gravity is not so high.

Edit: Since you already have the FMIC, just install that and get the coilover later!

Unlike you Mr. Soni, I am bound by the concept of resource scarcity. As in no money can't buy no shiet. One or the other.

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 07-28-2009, 03:25 PM

KW Coilovers is my suggestion.

thats basically same to everyone including me

BTW, I know a place can install the intercooler with a very reasonable cost and not too far from your parents home

Coils give you both.

IMHO, I would go for intercooler first if you already have sport suspension. But if you don't have sport suspension, then I would go for the coilovers first.

SGxi · 07-29-2009, 09:43 AM

His 323xi doesn't have sport suspension...

kenneth · 07-29-2009, 09:48 AM

Why the hell you need an intercooler for a 323?

In anticipation of me dropping an N54 engine into my car. Hopefully the conversion won't be too bad. I'm pretty handy though and since I have all of the parts already, I think I can do the engine swap over a week's time.
