I really wanted to get this for my 318ti compact... But I don't like squeaky noise... Do you know what causes this noise?... | | | 01-07-2013, 10:26 PM | #33 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Ft.

Maybe some increased road noise due to the stiffness, but other than that, none. You can change the dampening to full soft also for daily driving and it will be much quieter and smoother. I have been running these things hard, made some minor adjustments and am so far very pleased with my setup. | | | 01-07-2013, 11:26 PM | #34 | Member Join Date: Dec 2012 Location: LA, CA Posts: 31 | Quote: Originally Posted by jiggerjosh I don't know where you heard that, but since i have had mine they have been very silent.

I've heard from my mechanic who is a guru on modding bmw's that BC had lots of noise clunking and squeaking noise... I really wanted a fully adjustable coilovers and found your post and pretty much sold on getting it... I'm just worried about the noises... any ways I'm going to search more about this rumors... thank you! | | | 01-08-2013, 01:29 AM | #35 | Member Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Utah Posts: 62 | Pillow ball mounts can "clunk" if they use low quality bearings. Something I just noticed, but is the lower rear shock mount a spherical bearing or a solid metal bushing?

It lowers the car slightly more but also creates more creaking noises. More metal on metal friction noise. I'll be putting them back in though, for the amount it lowered it it's not worth the added noise. I'd just save up for some coil overs like BC Racing and do it the right way. | | | 03-31-2013, 12:12 AM | #38 | Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Toronto/Munich Posts: 83 | You'll have to excuse me for taking this slightly off topic but what are the benefits of the 328i sway bars? Or are they just necessary because your car is swapped? Also, do you run an x-brace?

Im thinking about getting the BC BR's and am trying to figure out which springs to get. | | | 06-12-2013, 10:01 PM | #40 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Florida Posts: 404 | So how much did this cost you? | | | 06-23-2013, 06:59 PM | #41 | Member Join Date: Jan 2013 Location: Felton Posts: 32 | Did you go with the Swift spring upgrade or just stick with the stock springs it comes with? | | | 06-24-2013, 04:21 AM | #42 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | Quote: Originally Posted by Breticus So how much did this cost you? | For $999.00 shipped the coilovers came with 30 way adjustable struts, camber plates, new endlinks and some of other goodies. It would cost two to three times that much from KW, GC or TC Kline for the same setup. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 07-02-2013, 02:13 AM | #43 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2013 Location: Los Angeles Posts: 26 | Awesome post...thanks! | | | 07-02-2013, 07:09 AM | #44 | Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Toronto/Munich Posts: 83 | Quote: Originally Posted by MTRD3 You'll have to excuse me for taking this slightly off topic but what are the benefits of the 328i sway bars?
