Re: coilovers
Having been around the M community for many years now (nearly a decade), this is the first I'm hearing of that brand. I'd go with the BC's...known commodity vs unknown.

Re: coilovers
would u recommend getting swift springs? being a $300 price difference im not too sure whether i want to pull the trigger on that knowing ride quality is going to be trashy either way with how low im planning on going.

Re: coilovers
also pbm is basically a drift spec brand. parts by max/partshop max. im not going for a drift setup but the spring rate is similar to what i was going to get on the bcs since the out of he box spring rate is kinda low

Re: coilovers
I had BC's on my '07 M35x and thought they were worth every penny. That being said, I know some people in the Y51 forum have used BC's or Scale Suspension with Swift and recommended the upgrade.dominicmartino wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 10:43 pmwould u recommend getting swift springs? being a $300 price difference im not too sure whether i want to pull the trigger on that knowing ride quality is going to be trashy either way with how low im planning on going.
Re: coilovers
I’ve been on PBMs for almost two years now, haven’t had any issues with them the ride is nice and stiff, haven’t done much adjustment with the damping. Although the only issue for me personally is the front doesn’t go as low as I would like. Don’t wanna take away too much from your post but here is how the car is currently sitting...

Re: coilovers
