Apologies for re-opening this old chestnut but I am contemplating coilovers.
My Z4C is on eibach pro sports, B6 shocks and 17" wheels. It's firm riding but I could live with it despite the appalling roads in Suffolk. I do sense a little rear end skipping, though, on some bumpy bends so wonder if it could actually be too hard (is that a thing?).
However, the wife is of a delicate disposition and is close to refusing to go any distance as a passenger!!
. I know I can feel my soft parts jiggle over some pretty inocuous road surface, so can only imagine what she's feeling.
I wonder if adjustable compression and rebound damping could be made compliant enough. And is it easy enough to adjust so I can do it 20 mins before we go out in it?
I have read a few similar threads and I know some of you out there have done this. I am thinking KW v3 but there are cheaper options I know. The important bit is how comfortable it can be made. Handling on softest setting won't be a concern, for obvious reasons.
I realise it will never be Volvo plush, but something to stop my man boobs quivering over every ripple would be about the right level.
