Anyone know anything about Broadway Static Coilovers?

DG20 · 11-29-2016, 11:57 PM

Does anyone know anything about or have any experience with the Broadway Static Coilovers (500s)? Looking to get a set for my 340i. They were even upgraded with swift springs.

Let me know

From what I've read they use Swift Springs and fortune auto shock body but they modify them so you can slam your car. I've read tons of good stuff about fortune auto 500 coilovers when I had my Z34 (Yes it's a Nissan). I'd say if you want to slam your car (which I'm against) get the broadway static... otherwise just get the Fortune auto 500.

Or why not Bilstein coils? I'd get them in a heart beat if I didn't have EDC...

Awesome thank you so much! So if i just want to lower my car, these are the ones to get?

Im debating between keeping my H&R sports with EDC or going with coils and giving up my EDC.

Thanks!

Yup! I think I'll get coils eventually but for now I'd enjoy my EDC a little more

Fortune Auto rides the same as my BC...fairly harsh.

Fortune Auto will do custom shock valving and spring rates. They will work with you to get exactly what you want.

Hmmm.... I heard BC rides very comfortably for other cars... I guess f30 versions ride harsher? I have no personal experience

I'd still prefer KWs or Bilsteins but I guess price difference is the key?

Yea, but I just don't think they do as good of a job as other companies. Once I get my turbo in, I'm going to revisit my coilovers and likely go with TC Kline. It was a very comfortable ride yet felt very planted. I was not impressed at all with BC Racing, Fortune Auto, and KW. I did like the Ohlins too; bit stiff at low speeds but very compliant at high speeds. The TCKs were the opposite; comfortable at low speeds, not as good as the Ohlins at high speeds but still very good.

Fortune's coilovers are really good, but you have to know what you want with them to get the ride you're looking for. They can custom valve their shocks anyway you want and their higher end models use Swift Springs which are really good.

I went with Bilstein B14's, but I picked up a used low mileage set for a great price. They are good, but in hindsight I should have gone with the adjustable shock versions. The B14's are just a tad bit too firm for me.

Thanks for all the help guys! I was asking about these specific coils because im able to get a killer deal on them. But im in a small dilemma. I wanna go lower because my wheel gap really bothers me and my rear wheels poke out a bit. Right now, i am sitting on H&R sports. Would the H&R supersports be a better option than coils since i get to keep my adaptive suspension? Or is that a bad option since it will most likely wear our my adaptive shocks a lot quicker?

Thanks guys
