Swift spec r springs and Koni Yellows

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if getting this combination will require any extra necessary modifications towards suspension. I have a 2013 128i, bone stock

Thanks!

You might want to get rid of the run flats - once they are worn out. RFT's have really stiff(hard) sidewalls. I think you will be just fine though.

And then you will need bushings starting with the subframe. Real tires will make it very apparent.
