M235 adaptive suspension and ride height
So my question is......
With the installation of lower springs that change the ride height, I am curious how the adaptive suspension will be affected with the dampers lower in their stroke. There has to be a calibration issue with changing the ride height. Unless it just senses that it is under load and will be in a firm resistance state all the time thinking the dampers are loaded. Anybody thought about this and done research? If your not planning on ditching the adaptive for the M upgrade bit still want a lower stance......how much of the intuitive suspension adaptation is lost so to speak. Thanks |

A few us here in UK have fitted springs to our F2x m135is with adaptive suspension, myself included, without issues.
In my experience, the dampers feel like they re-calibrated to suit my H&R springs. The car rides fine in either comfort or sport modes. Corners flat and doesn't get unsettled on bumpy roads we have here in the UK |

Sorry for "Trolling": Adaptive KW DDC plug&play Coilovers
fyi
do you know our adaptive KW DDC plug&play coilovers? http://www.automobilesreview.com/aut...ilovers/85625/ Further info about the kit itself (scroll down, I'm not talking about the KW DDC ECU where you can adjust the dampers via Apple or Android phone): http://www.kwsuspensions.com/kw/info/kw_ddc/ And sorry for trolling. It would be great if one of our customers write something about the KW DDC P&P suspension kit here in the forum. Thx. |

I had them on for about a year. Not sure how many km's. I would say, maybe 15-18k km's. And no. Felt the same honestly. Ride height was perfect for me, the ride did get more stiff/firm. But it wasn't something I couldn't deal with for daily driving. Got used to it pretty quick.
