Cheap quick struts
Anyone use the ebay complete struts that come with mounts and springs installed? I need something for my 535 as the stock struts are completely gone. This car is purely highway driven

I would stick with OEM.

I've been looking at the Bilstein B4 struts.... They're supposed to be just a smidgen stiffer than stock (10%). Not expensive, either. Not much feedback on F10 other than E90 xi guys seem to like them as they have more rebound stiffness that reduces the "pothole explosion" phenomena on the E90 Xi's. They are listed on Tirerack.com.

keep in mind your car won't feel like it's smooth anymore with the stiffer coils. unless that's what you're going for? are you lowered or stock?

I'd like to make the F10 tighter, and somewhat stiffer while still being primarily a trip car. Something like your KW V1s or ST-X with the ride height near the highest setting would probably be ideal for me. Either that or ACS springs and B4 or B6 Bilsteins, or Konis sports. You know the roads in Ohio suck so we are stuck with that, too. |

I just installed the KW V3 on a '13 535ix. The results are flat out awesome. The car is very soft on broken pavement or potholes yet corners like it is glued down with zero body roll.
Not cheap, but really good. Good luck. |
