Solowerks S1 Coilovers Installed

PARANOlD · 11-17-2019, 05:59 AM

Picked up the Solowerks S1 coilovers for $599 and finally got around to installing/adjusting. The perches are higher than I expected on the front to get the height I have, but the quality is great for the price. Car rides firm but not too firm, and there's no noise. Handling is improved and stance is great. Highly recommend these if you want to stay on a budget with your suspension upgrades.

Also have full M3 front and rear arms and Dinan camber plates with rear Dinan mount kit.

How is the suspension setup holding up? I was looking at a budget friendly suspension refresh on my e92 pretty soon...

They settled a bit but I was able to adjust all 4 corners to a consistent height. They're holding up well, a tad on the stiff side but they handle the road like a champ with no noise or other issues. Great for the price imo. I was considering a Bilstein setup but this worked out fine.

Curious if you replaced or reused these in your install? I should be installing my solowerks s1 as well. Also, is your ride height at the lowest? Are you running 19's or 18's wheels? Let me know, thanks!
