Who has them? Any issues with installation? Pics?
Coming from VWs I know they are regarded as the middle of the road in terms of ride but pretty nice quality and they have a huge range of height adjustment.
Also, is the regular E36 kit the one meant for our cars? I keep on reading about how the rear setup is different on TIs so I'm wondering if there will be any fitment issues.
Thanks for all the help guys |  |  | | 07-28-2009, 04:48 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |
KSport doesn't make any for the ti. But from what I hear, Ksport coilovers are great.
The rears are different from the regular e30. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

They were "Keepin it Real" when they introduced the 318ti ClubSport in '95 and the 318ti Sports from '96 to '99.
After that... well nothing else really matters. ~Jess | | | | | | 07-28-2009, 05:35 PM | #3 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: 845 NY Posts: 34 |

A member here is selling Jamex sport line springs. I think they give a 3.1" drop. Since they aren't meant for performance, they're good for show. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

I know some guys that would use Ksport coil overs on Honda's and they always had similar build quality problems to DDM Tuning ( http://forums.carolinaeuros.com/inde...buy+DDM+tuning ) Look into Bilstein PSS if you're on a budget or even a Bilstein Sport shocks and H&R sport spring set up. If you've got the money go with a T/C Kline or Ground Control. Good luck! | | | | | 07-29-2009, 10:26 PM | #8 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: 845 NY Posts: 34 |
If I were to get coil sleeves, I mine as well go all the way and cut a couple of the coils on my stock springs.... maybe even try heating them up a bit.  | | | | | 07-31-2009, 03:56 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Charlotte / Thomasville NC Posts: 240 |

LOL... if you've got money DON'T get ground control. Get some FK or KW coils, or of course PSS9 is good.
I am planning on getting some FK coils soon, hopefully. | | | | | 07-31-2009, 05:08 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
I think DDM coils = ksport coils. __________________ ~Dave~

I think the build quality (or lack there of) is about the same; however, Ksport uses their own design and manufacturer independent of DDM's. | | | | | 07-31-2009, 06:27 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Raleigh/Charlotte, NC Posts: 1,233 |

A while back I found a shock dyno of a Ksport coil for an STI that was identical to a shock dyno provided by DDM for their coilovers. By identical I mean the graph and all numbers were identical only the car make and type were changed to be BMW instead of STI. I saved the pics on my computer and I can post them up when I get home. __________________ ~Dave~
