Hi folks,
I'm strongly considering this kit, but I would like to hear your honest opinion how this kit work on softest settings on the street compared to stock suspension. Is it more comfortable and planted over not so perfect roads? |

Just got them installed on Thursday. Should have been my first mod to the M2. Absolutely amazing.
Body roll: 0. Ride comfort at 5 clicks all around: Much much better than stock. Rub: 0, and I have 265's in the front and 285's in the rear. Handling: Out of this world. Hopefully how happy I am to have gotten them shows through text.

One question though - what's the process for adjusting the clicks at each corner? Do you have to jack up each corner, take the wheel off and make the adjustment or is it easier than that? Cheers in advance! Karl

Edit: My friend with Ohlins doesn't jack up his car, as his hand fits. I think for both Ohlins and Bilstein it's just a matter of ease of access.

The company who are fitting my new brakes in a few weeks also fit these Bilsteins so I'm going to pick their brain a little.

Quick update - I ended up buying the B16s when I was at MMR Performance (I'm extremely impatient!). They are currently dialled in to the softest setting, but I am gradually going to increase the stiffness to see how the car's handling changes. Looking forward to this!

I've been seeing reviews from people ranging anywhere from saying the softest setting is softer than stock, to saying it's harsher but better over large bumps. Thoughts / feedback? |

I just put all four corners on the stiffest setting. It was really easy to do. For the fronts I would advise turning the wheels to full lock so the front of the wheel is facing inwards. That was you can easily reach in and make the adjustment. At the rear you simply have to reach under from the back by the exhaust.
I'll let you know how I get on with this setting throughout the week. I am fully expecting it to be a hard ride on the road, but that's not something that would normally worry me for a car like this.

Right, quick update - I just went out for an hour on the hardest setting on all 4 corners and from what I can tell so far I am really pleased. As you would expect you feel every bump in the road even more than normal, but I don't mind that as the car isn't my daily and I like that connected-to-the-road feeling. Going round roundabouts and cornering there is little to no body roll and the car feels extremely planted. I wasn't pushing crazy hard as it was dark and I am still getting used to the car (and it hasn't had the break-in service yet), but I love how it feels I forgot to mention the car's ride height has been dropped by 25mm all round when it was installed.
