which set up rides like a bimmer?
Hey guys i need a suspension setup that will give me a nice drop, and handles arounds the twisties like a bimmer with the sport package. Which set up is simular to a bmw with the sport package. I see a nice deal on the l-tuned springs and shocks. Will that give me what im looking for? help..
if ur looking for stiffness that bmws have u might consider doing coilovers, toms 6rear link kit, and sway bars
from what i heard ltuned sprin/shock combo is still too "floaty"
toms 6 rear link kit is how most bmw rear suspension comes stock, of course not as good quality materials though.

I have the L-tuned shocks and springs and if you are looking for Bimmer ride quality, look elsewhere. My wife drives an X5 and it is way stiffer than my L-tuned 430. I think some of the other people on CL will tell you to go with the coil overs. I think you will also need to get beefier sway bars and engine/trunk strut bars to help stiffen up the turning. I just picked up my new Danzien sway bars and will be putting them on tomorrow and will update how much of a difference they make.

I just got my Bilstein PSS coilovers installed, and i like the ride and handling alot. It feels like stock to me on smooth roads/freeways, and Im pretty low at about a finger gap all around (or so it seems...it may get a little lower within a week once the coils settles).
