Pillowy soft goodness

[Bokes]

it doesnt feel that bad. we had 4 people in it and it wasnt THAT comfy and squishy stu. i remember going fast around the taxi, and thats about all. of course, i did have some random object jamming into my side from your dirty ass car.

your car is hot btw, and sounds beast.

For my car and what I use it for, coilovers are not an ideal setup. I'm daily driving the car on the north side of Charlotte, where the roads don't get along with linear rates. These M3 springs do fine, I've stretched the car out considerably in the last two days, and am getting a feel for the new, very comfortable suspension. I know I will really enjoy not getting my 318 pounded over every bump in the road.

Good, honest move. Even with 300/475 rates my GCs still make my teeth chatter in our climate-bashed road system. If it wasn't for the height adjustment (raising the car ala 'ix in the winter) I would seriously consider downgrading my setup too.

I totally understand your choice stu, sometimes I miss the much better ride of my car when it was stock.. it actually handled okay and was still fairly firm. now I know every bump, ridge and pothole on the roads I travel and drive accordingly to avoid them as much as possible, but the daily drive is still a teeth rattling experience.

I've been driving a bit more and am having a blast rotating this thing. :D After driving on stiff springs for a few years now, it's refreshing to drive the car with a closer-to-stock feel.

Thanks for the input fellas

Now if we can just sneak it into G-stock next autox ;)

[diegom6]

Now everyone is going to put there stock suspension back in (except C///M because he has a race car)...... we should change the site to..... wheelgapunlimited.com

I think most people would just bite down and deal with the stiffness for the decrease in body roll. I don't think 4x4 mode is going to be the new fad.

But, in that case, Erick's ride would be the pimp shit. :P

edit: meant to put would, not should

Robert, I assure you that I'm not starting any trends, it was just a simple suspension swap. If I choose, a set of RD springs and fresh Bilstein Sports await at my house. If I want something different, bolting those up is no matter, but for now, I'm lovin' this setup. I returned to Charlotte tonight and the softer suspension is very comfortable on these roads, and I can still stretch the car out to surprising limits. :P

The ride height is up there, like I said, on par with a stock 318i/iS, with the nose being ducked down slightly, with the 6 up front. Though you can tell that from the pictures, I'm sure.

I was just joking around that maybe everyone will want to give up a harsh ride for fender gap. It's good to hear you are enjoying your new setup.
