Any reason you disliked the MPS for daily/fast road use? Contemplating them vs KW V3.

Thanks Dave. I’ve yet to find a bad review of the MPS. I am tempted by the V3’s however as the spring rate is slightly firmer and progressive up front. They also have a greater lowering range over the MPS. There’s also a sale on V3’s and they’re drawing me in! 🤣

FWIW - I wouldn't want my MPS much lower - although there's still room to go lower both F&R. Now the 18"'s are on, it'll go up to Center Gravity for full setup/fettling

MPS is really good for the price. Fact that you get to keep your car warranty is great too. |

And agreed on M2C stock suspension - manages to be both jarring and poorly damped with such low spring rates! BMW’s insistence on using long bumpstops prevents a well-engineered damper from working properly. Trimming them is also not an option as the damper then struggles to cope with standard valving. |

I really would like to play with a 3 way setup, with high/low speed compression adjustments but tough to stomach 5K+ on a Kw Clubsport 3-way, or 6K+ JRZ 3way

Once you start investing in very expensive high-end suspension, then you do wonder if you’d started with a better platform instead (e.g a Porsche etc). Similar I suppose to people paying thousands for Akra exhausts, when arguably cheaper alternatives sound better. But that’s horses for courses. I’d also add that many people aren’t versed in understanding how compression/rebound works; and how lowering 50mm isn’t exactly going to translate to a better ride or handling compromise. Just my thoughts but I do support your thinking. Would love to have the opportunity to experience high-end suspension to see if it’s worth the expense Last edited by Billy_BMW; 04-13-2019 at 05:40 PM.. |

Hmmm... so I've been experimenting. Less Rebound over the stock MPS setting does feel good (and leads to a more 'active' dynamic at lower speeds than previously). I've looked at the graphs though and the suggested settings to replicate stock really don't feel anywhere near? Yes, the spring rates are higher, but???

EDITED first post to include a cross link to my final setup using stock M3 EDC electronic shocks with DSC Sport completely configurable active suspension controller based off G force.
Dyno plots for stock EDC shocks posted in this link as well with an overlay of the stock M2 shocks in the same graphs! DSC Sport , Active System Retro-fit https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1603360

Looking at the plots, they all appear to be measured from some point beyond the maximum effective adjustment range? |

Rear compression was 14 and 16 driver and passenger , compression was 20...which again a bit more than published. Good luck with them, hopefully your set matches left to right. Happy Easter.

Rebound is at the top on front and rear? Getting to the rear compression adjusters is the pain, while preventing the fronts from seizing is getting irritating.

yeah, top in the rear is annoying. The rear compression i can get to without removing the wheel, but the top i can't.
