Hey Long, did you guys lower this one? If so, is that the H&R Super Sport springs? I'd like a little lower in the front or higher in the back. Also, do you guys do alignment or is it not needed? PM me the cost!

1013mm · 04-12-2012, 01:25 PM

yes they did.

In the South Bay try contacting West End Alignment. The owner Darin is very involved with the BMW CCA LA Chapter autocross program and does outstanding work. I personally have been going to Darin since the late 80's!

I am saving up and waiting for the Eibach/Bilteins combo to lower my 335i.

Try saving up for something better. KW DDC coilovers. It will work with your edc function. If you do not have the EDC function, you can get the module and run an app off your Iphone.

I know this is not BMW, but it is the same concept.

DrivenByE30 · 07-07-2012, 10:31 AM

Thanks for the suggestion Long

I dont have EDC, so if i want it, i would have to get the module as well...
am going to look into it, especially the price...

What about this one? it's not as "fancy", it doesn't come with an App

but if for the same price or less...

would it be a good product to consider? what's your take on this one>

I am not gonna track my car, i doubt it, but i just want to have nice sport tuned lowered ride...

aus · 07-08-2012, 07:30 PM

Where in LA are you? There are shops all over.

I have no idea about that setup. At that price, you might as well go with KW clubsport. They come with camber plates as well.

Hi, I'm new here and new to BMW's.

I just got a 2012 335i with M Performance brake system, M Performance Double-Spoke 405M, 20" Lightweight Forged Wheels and M Performance exhaust. I'm looking for a tuner in LA, has anyone ever used Ghost Motorsports on National in LA? Any others you would recommend.

s1k0ne · 11-27-2012, 05:54 PM

mod bargain

what tune are u look'n to get?
the kelliners? Hartge?
check out Turner Motorsport or pm LongTran.
look at Down Pipes as well.

ur main power gains are going to be DP and Tune for the N55.

Traderdan · 11-29-2012, 01:50 PM

Frankie,

Thanks for the suggestions, as I said I am new and don't really know what I can do. But i've heard that a simple tune can add some decent power.

yes a tune will.
JB tune is well priced- and
has a good reputation for e9x application. check out their site and email Terry.

I've driven longtran's f30 - he has the jb tune. the tune is in its early stage.
// if ur in the neighborhood u can ask for a ride along to see the performance difference.

- just do some research, or have questions - post it up- the forum guys will help u out as much as possible - if not i will.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
