Supersport Coilover Kit From Germany?

Has anyone heard of or tried this suspension setup on their ride?

http://supersport.de/cgi-bin/vm/vio....ction_noshow=1

It's the "Supersport Premium Coilover Kit" for BMW E90. These are built in Germany. Looking to go with this setup as recommended by my shop to save me $$ from going with the Bilstein. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Never heard of the company. Don't try to save a few dollars by buying from an unknown company. Chances are that the quality is terrible.

If you're set on buying coilovers and you're on a budget, why not take a look at the KW V1 or better yet, the ST V1? At least with those, you get a warranty (lifetime with the KW's) and you know that you're buying from a trusted company.

These are the same as the Bavarian Autosport's. Search and you'll find scarce reviews, mostly positive. If you end up taking the risk, get them from BavX being a vendor here might have better customer service if something goes wrong. I was gonna go w/them, but ended up buying some used FK's..kinda wish I hadn't now that I gotta spend another $150 for endlinks b/c the FK ones suck.

they are garbage. I blew up a set in 5k miles

snapped the rear adjusters and blew both front shocks. Springs are stiff and the ride is bouncy, I tested a set out and thats where they ended up

Yikes! I found some reviews but on other cars, they weren't so great!

I searched BavAuto online, they had no coilovers in stock for my ride. Luckily enough, I found a set of used bilstein pss9's. Going w/ those instead!
