Hmmmm....so are the fronts adjustable? Also are these specifically for lowering/stiffer springs? TIA.

fdriller9 · 10-22-2011, 09:40 PM

Will this fit a 330xi?

ry_30 · 10-25-2011, 02:10 AM

will these work with both stock springs and H&R sport springs on xi models??

Yes, the rebound damping will be adjustable and these can also handle lowering and stiffer springs.

V1 has no damping adjustments at all. These Koni's will outperform the V1 struts and shocks.

SS e93 · 10-31-2011, 10:41 PM

Which would be better for ride comfort. lowering springs with these shocks, or kw v1? coming on an xi.

Koni is a better damper out of the block, when mated with proper sport springs the ride will be stock like with more control.

SS e93 · 11-01-2011, 09:00 PM

Which would you say are the best springs to match, as well as providing a good clean drop.

We like the H&R or the BMW Performance springs.

How much of a drop with these two?I would like minimal drop ,due to high snow area, with increase in handling.

1/2" at the most.

mashimarho · 11-29-2011, 08:46 PM

Pm me a price for both springs and shocks/struts for e92 LCI xDrive.
I think I'd go with this route vs.. coils.

Also... will this give me a nice drop? I want something to give it a nice low look (not too low, but clean!!)

THanks

How do these compare with the Bilsteins? If I get these now, will I be able to do a swift coil-over spring conversion in the future?

CT335xi · 02-06-2012, 06:38 PM

I really leaning toward the koni's with h+r sports but before I pull the trigger , I know people say that the bilstein's ride pretty firm so how do koni's ride in comparision?

Koni is one of the softer riding dampers out there because of its twin tube low pressure design.

JTWCT · 04-06-2012, 09:56 PM

Would these work better with Eibach or H&R springs?

We recommend H&R springs.

Thanks but is there any particular reason why H&R over Eibach?

PKumarM3 · 04-10-2012, 02:13 AM

have you installed any on an xi car? how would you compare those to the tck coil over option?

thanks.
