The BMW 135i gets a suspension upgrade. I found the Koni Sport Adjustable suspension to be the best fit for my needs. Thanks to Casey and Daniel for helping out with the install. Follow on IG: @shawsgarage
Nice job! Did you change the spring as well? I've got the M-sport springs and wondering if I get the Eibach springs with the kit or just the koni's themselves.
Thanks bro. I used my stock M-sport springs with the Konis. I decided to go this route to maintain my SCCA F Street Class for autocross. Adding springs would take me into a higher class. Down the road I will move onto a set of coilovers when I'm ready for a more aggressive setup. If you are wanting a lower ride height then change out the springs, as you will not get any lower by swapping out just the struts/shocks. Also will be easier to assemble since you can leave the stock springs with the stock struts. Good luck!
These are facts. Stock sway bars are too soft. Sway bar is next on my list. But I will wait to lower the car through coil overs in the future. I want to keep my car complaint with SCCA Autocross classing. Lowering the car will bump me into a higher class. Next season
@@iasoto No fitment issues at all. They are same width as the original 135i wheels and I believe same offset. Looks better than the original wheels in my opinion. And going smaller to 17s allows some extra tire meat. Enjoy your 135i!
These Konis are adjustable. I max the stiffness of the Front Struts while racing. And then on the street I lower the stiffness to the softest setting. It makes quite a difference to the quality of street driving, especially over speed bumps is when you will notice. Your passenger will notice the difference too, and thank you 😁
@@adamaddams1521 I set the rears near the middle stiffness at 2.5 full turns (4 is max). Unfortunately you need to have the rear shock out of the car to make adjustments. So I decided to leave it at the medium-hard setting for street and track driving.
