Koni Yellow Review (OEM Sport Springs)

Turkeybaster115 · 06-01-2010, 11:30 AM

On saturday, I had these installed in my car. Compared to the stock sport shocks, these are a HUGE improvement (19's on). I had them set to the same settings as is used by the M5/540I guys on M5board.com: Fronts: 1/2T from full soft, Rears: 3/4T from full soft. On bumps, and pot holes, big and small, the Knoi shocks feel about 25% softer than the stock sport shocks. However, when taking turns, the car feels 3X more planted!! Its amazing how well the car handles, and drives. I almost got the Koni FSD's but the vendor(HPautowerks) was out of them, so I took the last set of yellows. I'm so glad I got the yellows.

Nice review

Was there any change in ride height? What kind of mileage did you have on your stock setup?
