2013 BMW 335i xDrive: Retrofit DHP (and other options)?
My vehicle wasn't ordered with DHP (a long story).
My goal is to get as close as possible to DHP-like ride quality _without_ lowering the vehicle, i.e. maintain OEM suspension geometry. After researching available options ... 1. Try to retrofit DHP using BMW OEM parts. Did anyone try this? Cost? Would the BMW dealer even consider embarking on this journey? For a price, I suppose anything is possible. 2. Install KW's Dynamic Dampening Control (DDC) Coilover System. I contacted KW and European Auto Source to learn if this system will maintain OEM ride height. Waiting for an answer. Thank you for sharing your experience. |

Doesn't the KW DDC coil set hook up to the existing adaptive damper control system? If so, would it be possible to set this up to work with a non-DHP vehicle?
Anyways, if that works, I'm sure you can maintain stock height with the KW coils. I believe for most coils, if you raise it to the max, it will be higher than stock. |

Go for KW coilovers, I think I read somewhere that you will also need to change your sway bar because sway bar on a dhp car is different than a car without dhp. I could be wrong tho!!
