    Thumbs up FK Streetline Coilovers for e46?

    i found a lot of e36 owners who have em, but no e46 owners? can anyone please let me know if you like em? im looking for just height adjustability and ive been between these and rokkor coils.
    i figure these are better since they are from a reputable brand. Please let me know!

    Because neither of them are particularly good set-ups, that's why you don't see them.

    Have you thought about KW V1? They're height adjustable and won't ruin your ride quality

    The KW's are worth the money, just saying. As are the ST V1's (which I'm running on my car).

    I think Ned (Neds Bimmer) had FK Streetlines on his last car. Perhaps shoot him a PM or he can comment here in this thread & shed some light.

    Sup Eric.


    Fk's I would say are worth the money. I had them on a precious 325ci, while they won't give you much performance in the corners, they go very low if that's what you want. And for the ride quality, very close to OEM sport suspension. It's a comfortable ride in my opinion. It's a little harsh if you hit a pothole but besides that it's good.

    The rears don't go as low as the fronts for some reason. Depending on how low you want to go, these may be great for what you want. Overall I would recommend them, great price, you get a slight performance increase, good ride quality and you can go pretty low in the fronts especially

    actually i read your thread on fanatics! your car was really sick. i do wanna keep the ride comfort somewhere near stock. i dont want to go stupid low just because i dont want to have more problems. im just curious if they are stiffer or as stiff as the rokkors?
    many said the rokkors were not bad at all, they had minimal bounce.
    also i would have to wait until march 21st for them to just ship (-.-)
    rokkors can come asap
    i know im impatient

    You bought a BMW, what are you complaining about coilover prices for? It's like you're at a higher scale restaurant and you're asking where the dollar menu is.

    I've never been in a car that had rokkors so I'm not really sure, but the fk's are not really stiff. The body doesn't roll as much in the corners which is nice, but it's not really a stiff setup by any means.

    Which website won't ship until march? I bought mine from ecs tuning
