@tommy would you recommend these? or the ohlins? i am at 64k miles and do track days once a quarter. 8 max per year. Or would you recommend to simply install the shocks from bilstein?
Amazing video brother! The attention to detail and meticulousness is what sets you apart from the competition. I need that torque wrench! You have gained another subscriber. Very well done 👏👏👏
Great video, any update of when part 2 will be uploaded? I would like to get these coilovers for my M4 and I am waiting for your review before I pull the trigger.
if you were in Texas / houston I would just bring the car to you and let you go crazy haha. thanks for the video. this just goes to show you that a good mechanic is needed.
I don't even have an F80, but I love watching your DIY's lol. When you adjust the ride height on the rears, will you have to drop the control arm all over again? On my F30 with B14's I was told you can't adjust ride height without dropping the control arm and I don't understand why.
Anshu S you’ll find that with adjustable spring collars the BMW rear spring upper cup just spins against the chassis when you try to turn the threaded collar. This is why it may be necessary to drop the lower control arm again to make that adjustment. Some people have found that a thin C-clamp on the upper cup gives you enough leverage to prevent it from spinning.
Quick question, doing mine next weekend. Can you do the fronts without removing the strut tops aswell? Just brace the hub and undo from the top? Also can you not reuse the front nut for the strut tops, its mentioned this is replaced? I dont have replacement 22mm nuts. Thanks
Is there a reason for the spring compressor and removing the whole top hat? Some DIY have you remove the center nut and just drop the strut down that way
These b16s are fully integrated with the car, so you can control them with the different modes in the car: www.kiesmotorsports.com/products/bilstein-b16-damptronic-2015-2018-bmw-m3-m4-f80-f82-front-rear-performance-suspension-system?_pos=1&_sid=ee67cfcdb&_ss=r
Hi great video, do you have to lower by as much as the figures you quoted in the video, I’d love this set up but in the UK we have some nasty speed bumps Cheers
Nice video, just wondering, did you replace any of the nuts and bolts when doing the suspension indexing? BMW parts said not all bolts have to be replaced, but a bunch of the suspension nuts do. Online it says either to replace every nut and bolt that’s loosened or no need to replace, so confused on which approach to take. Thanks!
Could you do some review on those suspension? in term of ride quality, compare with stock and let's say, the famous kw v3. I heard this one is more like a huge improvement based on the stock feel, other than chancing the characteristic to feel "like a different car" . That sounds like a good fit for an occasionally tracked daily car. Will you recommend Ohlins DFV over this ?
Did you follow the measurements for the spring height adjustment specified in the instruction manual? I did the same install and my rear only dropped 1cm compared to the stock ride height.
Hey Brian, can I use a 16mm wrench (not a pass through) and a T30 torx on a separate wrench to tighten/loosen the sway bar or do I need a pass through wrench only? I installed lowering springs and am now getting a clunking noise. I think it’s because I couldn’t tighten the sway bar 100% as I only had a t25 torx
Finally a proper set of real coilovers with EDC

@@CHEDDARANDWAFFLES got the same question, I am comparing Ohlins DFV vs Bilstein B16 and Nitron R1 for my m2c. also 85%daili +15%track day
Thank you! I have watched this 100 times to install my Kw DDC. You just saved me $1700!!!!!
This is the second video of yours that has been super helpful with my M4.
How's the ride experience so far?
Amazing video brother! The attention to detail and meticulousness is what sets you apart from the competition. I need that torque wrench! You have gained another subscriber. Very well done 👏👏👏
That drop looks perfect. Also I like how plug and play this bilstein kit is. Well done
Excellent breakdown, can't wait to hear your review of this setup after a few twisty drives.

Those top hats look insane!

Great tips about that bolt in the rear that adjusts camber!
Great tutorial for any BMW F Series suspension work.

They look good! It has been a couple of months since the installation, is there a follow up video coming? 😁
What other suspension parts are recommended when putting on these coilovers, or are the Bilsteins enough?
Do you have to disconnect the battery when your changing out a edc shock/strut. And get it reprogrammed?
This dude Brian is a super cool dude!
Did these coils on ur f30 make it handle better than the f80 stock?

It looks like it's a BILSTEIN B14. There is no stiffness adjustment.

@@KiesMotorsports No wheel spacers needed wor the sotck rims?

Cheers
aren't the rear bushings(strut and outer LCA) ball joints? If they are, do they still need to be loaded before torquing down?
If you exclude the EDC (I have an M2C :P) what are your thoughts on Bilstein vs Ohlins? Thx :)
Great instructional video man!

What was that intro song?
Great video as always! Need to do some coilovers on my 335 asap!
suprafan2jz such a neat tune lol
When is the follow up vid? I'm a looking a getting these for track duty
Any suggestions the best way to adjust lift the rear springs?
Hi...will this Bilstein B16 coil-over fit my 2019 440i Grand Coupe XDrive if not what do you recommend, please.
Very informative bro

Are these better than BC Racing Coilovers?
I looked in your recommended tools and don’t see the “spreader” you mentioned in the video. Can you provide a link?
Going to do corner balancing as well?
Do you have to reprogram or do anything with the headlight sensors after lowering the car?
Will there be a part 2? Waiting for the review
Can we do a transmission flush on a 535i
Is that an individual color or Imola red?
Nice video. Good choice
Could you suggest me good one for my 2016 340xi? Thanks!
We have the same car bro ive been looking at this set and kw
Hello there I'm mario im love what you do the transformation of 328i im have one
Good Job :)
WHY NOT DISCONNECT THE BOLT FROM THE OTHER END OF THE CONTROL ARM? IS IT TOUGHER?
would the m adaptive suspension still work with the coilover replaced?
Nice
Need spacers ASAP
good job
Such a nice video to watch :)
why did bmw set the stock height so high in the front?
Does this fit on a F82?
Part 2 ????
When is the next video
Definitely trying this at home.. lol jk
Can someone tell me what passthrough socket this is at 16:00. I can not find it. Tool section doesn't have it.
