I'm on full stiff haha

It's not too bad now but I'm pretty sure it's still there.

You might be overdamped then. It will 'bounce' too but not oscillate up and down after the bounce. If you're full stiff it might be bouncing on the tires too. My suggestion is to turn it all the way down and turn it up until it dampens well.

I started at full soft and went from there and the bounce only got better as I cranked it up but it's still there on full stiff. I'll try turning it down to 20 and going from there.

Thanks guys, i'll try to adjust things this weekend and see how it plays out.

Still interested in the group buy if it happens.

I would also take a look at fortune auto coilovers too, even if it's at a little higher price point. Love the look of your car man btw

Can anybody who has had coilovers for a few years AND daily driven their ZHP in the snow/salt report on how the threads are holding up? From what I understand the threads rust out, making adjustments impossible thereafter...

I think charlie is the only one that can answer that......it doesn't snow often enough in Florida......

Yeah but he's only had the BC on his ZHP for one year, which is his daily driver. I don't know how long he's had the BC on his M3, but his M3 is not daily driven, and most certainly not driven in the snow/salt at present.

Posting for Charlie

"BP....the BC's been on my ///M going on 4 years now and the first year they were installed they were driven full-time in the New England winter....snow and all. Threads held up great. You have to grease the threads so they aren't exposed and they will be okay BP :thumbsup

The ZHP has one winter's use on them and are in perfect shape so far :)"

I had a set of Tein SS coilovers on my previous car that was daily driven during the winter here in Virginia. Granted it is not as a bad of a winter here but every spring I would clean them up and make sure there was no problems with the seal for the shock, camber plates were clean and greased and etc. IMO coilovers do require a bit more work then a traditional spring/strut set-up as far as maintenance.
