I am looking to get coilovers for my e93 325, Just looking for some which will be comfortable as i dont really want a a bumpy ride would like it smooth, i understand it will be slightly uncomfortable but want it smotth as possible.

I was looking at the eibach pro street coilovers, or KW coilovers?

I think your best bet would be the KWs as these are the most popular ones but its worth doing some research on the H&R, Bilstein PSS and Eibach Prostreets as well.

KW's are the only coilovers truly designed for the E93. Don't go with anything else.

Actually, it's their rear springs

I recommend the KWs

I got FKs and well... although I'm not dissatisfied, I'm not satisfied


Spent the extra money and get the KW

If you want just to drop it, get the V1s

My friend loves his

But if you want some more, get the V2s

V3s will prly be too much


PSS9s are also a great choice

No experience with the H&Rs

The answer is simple, you get what you pay for when it comes to vehicle suspension. As such a crucial component of your vehicle, suspension is definitely something you do not want to cheap out on. Coilovers are the best suspension solution as all the parts are crafted to function together, as opposed to just lowering springs. KW coilovers are known for their signature colors, individuality, quality, and security. In addition, KW coilovers are most often the coilovers that allow the most lowering adjustability compared to other options for your vehicle. KW is known for their reinforced and durable suspension components. KW's coilovers have been carefully crafted and designed by studying the flaws of competitors and improving on them. In addition KW coilovers can go lower than just about any other brand and allow you to set your car to a "slammed look", "sporty look", or anywhere in between. In the unfortunate event that anything should happen to your coilovers, KW's warranty backs all their products from manufacturer's defect.

KW SC Have had good reviews

the V1s I drove were very nice

V2s can get too stiff for some


Don't get FKs though
I do like the handling (still wish I got KW V2s though)
but it is VERY stiff
give or take I am on the stiffest setting :P
