hey everyone,

I'm looking into getting some coilovers for my 435i but don't really know which direction to go. I wanna get good ones but also don't wanna spend a fortune either, any suggestions

thank you

~ I recommend the kw coil over kits... I love mine ~

What are you looking to get out a good set, just height adjustment? Is comfort a main concern or do you want something sporty? Would you like to pay the premium to adjust damping? I'd be happy to get you set up with the appropriate coilovers.

just installed KW v1's on my 2015 435/rwd non EDC and wow!

I was able to lower the car a good amount without sacrificing the ride. keep in my mind I commute to and from downtown Los Angeles and the roads are horrible but my car still rides pretty good in my opinion. I almost settled with H&R super sports but im glad I spent the extra cash on Coilovers

I installed KW V1's a while back (non EDC) and they are nice. Best coilovers to lower your car and improve the ride quality.

KW is the best way to gain performance and retain a comfortable ride. It also depends on budget, BC Racing is not bad at all for the price. It just depends what you are looking for. If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I would be glad to help you out

Bilstein from Mike at AWE! Love them!

KW V1 are the most popular
Bilstein is another really good option

KW suspension is always the way to go , however not wanting to break the bank , than you can go with BC racing. Here's a few 435I with the BC's and they drive really nice.

If you are after price point and lower the car for good looks, KW is great.

Looking for excellent street and track performance, TCKline Racing and Ohlins are excellent choices.

What is the advantage of installing coilovers vs. just changing out the springs?

Ride height adjustment on almost all kits, damping adjustments on some kits, ability to select your own spring rates to suit individual driving needs on few and higher end kits only. With height adjustable kits you are able to corner balance the vehicle for best handling as well.

Feel free to fill in anything I have missed.

For someone living in Sweden where the winter can be kind of harsh and the roads filled with salt, what brand is best quality for such weather conditions?
I´ve used Bilstein on a previous car for about 2 winters without problems, how much can you ask from a set at that contition?

[Dippydo]

After having others, for the money you can't beat the quality of KW. A little more money but you have less problems and they remain quiet and not to mention ride smooth yet firm. No bouncing around like most other brands.

The fronts are stainless steel so they are fine for winter conditions with salt. I live in Minnesota so we have the same problem. Others are made from zinc alloy and will corrode after 1 winter which what happened on my last set on another popular brand causing them to leak.

I did spray the body of the KW now with clear plastidip to keep them looking shiny and new.

You have Ohlins right at home. Give them a call and order a set.
