Proper Suspension Setup for E93 (FSDs no bueno)
I need some help here. I have always had a hunch that my suspension setup was subpar, but recently confirmed it with driving some other bmws and finding their suspension much more settled than mine.
I have FSDs on my car and having the one sku application across the 4 body styles always concerned me. The rear of my car likes to bounce a lot on the freeway or anytime road is uneven with long dips. From driving other cars (z4 and f30) with oem suspenion, this has not been the case. Despite the harshness, they much more settled and predictable than my car. I feel these FSD shocks do not account for the extra weight of the E93. So now my question is, which products are properly designed? Currently on my radar is the KW V1 and V3. Both are more than I want to spend, but I am too busy to be routinely swapping suspensions and would rather do it right this time.

Thanks! I checked and there are no Koni yellows specific to the E93 application. There is a koni yellow / eibach spring kit available for E91/E93.
Playing around on real oem, looks like BMW used same shocks for E91 and E93 (used last model built vs E93 335is)
