The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

I can't answer your question about bilstein b8 since I have koni yellows but regarding "while you are in there" components, here's a good list from William-

Thanks for what is going to be a very helpful link. Love how the OP recapped the best points of the thread at the top: great!

What are you looking to get out of the car? Track days? DD?

Definitely a DD who loves to push the car hard. Thanks!

I'll never not recommend Koni FSD's for a DD. They're made of unicorn horns.

That's two strong votes for the Koni. If installed now only on the rears they should do fine with the stock front units, I'd assume?

Thanks to you both for your help.

ON EDIT: on sale now, with additional rebate.

I don't think you can go wrong with Konis if you're car is a DD that you like to push often or even track from time to time. Either FSDs or Sports.

The thing that always appeals to me about the Koni yellows is the fact that you can adjust them for what you want

Are these an upgrade or more of a replacement for stock? Will there be a performance increase?

Thanks

I would suggest getting all 4 at once but to answer your question, it should be ok, depending on how you adjust the stiffness...

+1 to what Rob said, I do adjust the damper stiffness on the fronts quite a bit and the difference is quite noticeable. Also keep in mind that to adjust the rears you have to remove the strut...

This. Same here.

unless you...

a) buy koni yellow 911 rears (top-adjustable), or;
b) buy top-adjustable koni yellow rears from ground control (which i suspect are actually 911 rears, LOL)
