i haven't decided yet....

but the thing is, if the stock is so damn good why do people go on to change their suspensions?

doesn't a proper a/m suspension gives better handling and more firm ride than stock ?

a several thousand suspension offers what exactly?

besides talking away the 4wheel drive look ( bling matters for something..) what else is there??

It's called "wear & tear" BMW Warranty only covers suspension parts up to 60 000 miles / 100 000 kms ... after that it's "BMW Good Will" but that rarely goes through on suspension components these days
The cost of replacement O.E. CSL suspension is almost the same as a decent after market suspension kits so most owners go for a/m suspension kits as it offers better adjustibility + in some cases the a/m kits can be rebuild after a few years use, unlike the O.E. stuff that just gets bind
BTW the O.E. CSL suspension is quite firm as standard, even with a few miles/kilometres on them and lower doesn't automatically mean better

looking to sell something mate????

i am so darn confused here....

first the club-sport
then the Nitron sport+
now the moton 1 way ....( keep reading reviews from people in the us how awesome this kit is and how well it drives and handle!!!!! )

Jesus Christ !!!!!!!!!!!!!:banghe ad:

and the thing is that everybody has different opinions on what someone should get....

the more i read and try to compare the kits, the more confused i get....

and the money are quite a bit too....
i am going to spend another 2k++ for a new suspension and don't want to get something i won't like at the end....

because they can!

of course there are benefits from a/m suspension, best of all is the amount of tyre wear it saves you on fast tracks by preventing the body roll onto the tyre edges

but of your aim is mainly to do the Ring i personally dont think there will be any improvement on a CSL. probabaly the opposite (Rob seems to be getting slower )

yet you got your self an intrax if i remember right?

you said i am going to ignore your advice on the stock suspension ( which i am trying to do ) but the car is no csl...
i don't know if the csl suspension is going to work properly with almost 80-100kg more weight to transfer....

there si abosolutley no doubt in my mind that OEM CSL suspension is the best road option BY FAR. Then again the M3 suspension is probabaly better than that on road
