My suspension Dilema
Ok peeps let me have it:
My Current Suspension mods Front M3 Sway bar Front M3 Control Arm Kit Rear M3 Subframe Bushings Rear Megan Racing Adjustable Toe arms Rear M3 Guide Rods Rear M3 Upper Links Rear M3 Sway bar Tires - Pilot Super Sports Verdict - it handles almost like an M3 and am very pleased - however I do have a set of new coils (KWV3) sitting in the garage......do I install or sell? I ordered them the same time as the other items however have been installing them piece by piece to feel the variances from each mod and didn't realise that I'd be so happy with the current set up....so will the coils make me even happier.....or overkill? Whilst the majority of you might say this is a no brainer - I'd prefer to hear from people that have made the jump after my mods. I track 5 - 10 times a year. Pro's on track are obvious.....however will I need to buy a mouth guard travelling across the bumpy streets in Aus - I've read that they could get noisy - etc, etc, Thanks in advance

In my opinion it's a no brainer, install the coilovers. I have roughly the same M3 mods as you do, but I installed Koni Sport dampers near the beginning of my suspension mods rather than last. In my opinion the stock dampers are the weakest link in the stock suspension. All those M3 mods you have are nice and they improve the way the car handles, but they don't fix the stock dampers (and springs). As long as the KWV3 are adjustable for damping (which I believe they are) you should be able to dial in whatever ride you want. Plus they are height adjustable too so you can also get the stance you want.
