I decided to get some coilovers for the E46. It wouldn't be a budget drift build without some bad boy Maxpeedingrods coilovers ! Don't forget to hit the thumbs up! FOLLOW: @codys888 on Instagram / csmedia15 Music: www.bensound.com
Looks good mate👍 I note you kept the standard front sway bar links as they could be replaced with shorter ones but it would appear you have no issues with the standard ones. I have a 328i - same colour and I’m thinking of doing the same upgrade 👍🧰🔧
Hey mate. When you removed the rear collar and just used the spring, did you notice that it was either sitting on the shocks bumpstop, or the rear trailing arm was bottoming out on the body? The springs compress heaps when the car is back Down on the floor and you literally only have an inch of suspension travel before you either hit the bump stop or the arm bottoms out. What did you find?
I know it's been a while since you have installed these and I was curious how you felt about them now that you have had some time on them? What are your thoughts? Thanks 🙂 I picked up a cheap e46 that I'm cleaning up and the struts are blown and need replaced. I've been looking at these, as well as the raceland ultimas, and maybe riaction (bit more $$$ though)
Honestly there pretty rough... but for a $300 coilover or however cheap they were i thought they were really good value... if you just bought a cheap e46 id get these. if your looking to build a nice cruiser that you want to spend money on to clean up than id probably go something else. just depends what your vision for the car is. You do pay for what you get.
@@codys888 thanks for the info :) Ya I just picked up a '00 328ci that was in decent shape for $700 ( bad waterpump) I fixed it and got lucky that the head wasn't warped lol. It's got lowering springs right now but the front struts are blown. The rears are good and are even bilsteins! I'm thinking I'm just going to get a set of koni sport struts for the front and run those for a bit and start putting money on the side for a good set of bc or kw coilover in the future.
Hey mate seem to be doing well, keep in mind due to lock down I've only done around 1500kms. My left front coilover keeps coming lose though. So after a few more thousand ks I'll upload a impressions video
Hey bro. Thanks for the vid. Btw, hows the ride on these coilovers..? Is it stiff or bouncy or comfort..? Please share a honest reveiw as there 50/50 good bad mixed reviews. And to me if the strut coming loose after a while could be a deal breaking for me. Anyways waiting for ur reply.. ✌
