I'm in the market for a new set of coilovers or even a shock/spring setup if that is what I need to do to get something more comfortable.

I have Tien FLEX right now and the ride is very solid and makes the car handle great but my g/f hates the rough ride so it has to go. Anyone want a set of mint condition coilovers? (under 3k miles)

Not as much concerned about the price as the ride quality. I want something that isn't mushy but very compliant for daily driving (no track time with this car). We take long trips and it's got to be comfortable. I love the ride / handling mix of the new E55 AMG so that is what I'm looking for. Solid but forgiving.....

The Tien Flex springs rates are at 559/671 but many members say it's not spring rate that matters but more the valving of the shocks themselves?


Right now I'm looking at:

1) Tien CS coilovers

2) Bilstein PSS9 coils

3) KW V2 coils

4) Koni yellow shocks with H/R or Eibach springs?


I am not too familiar with many of the JDM brands so if you guys can make some suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Or give me your personal experience!


thanks,

OEM,or Neuspeed springs.

 

My brother has the PSS9s on his '06 with stock wheels and I think it would definitely deliver what you're looking for, at least with it set to the softer side.

 

+1 for the pss9's.

 

Where did you guys buy your PSS9? Price?

I've had that setup on my m3 before and very happy with them on that car.

If I can stay away from springs/shocks that would be perfect since I like the ability to adjust as needed.

Old thread but as I'm looking at a similar setup with similar reasons with g/f's complain,

bump!
