Hi Guys,

is there anyone in this forum (preferrably in Syd) selling their coilovers? My budget is around $800-$1000. Not after anything really hard, no tracking purpose, only daily driven.

On Zclub.com.au forum, there are 2 coilovers being sold over there, both driven for around 10,000-15,000kms, 1 being Ohlin Road / Track the other is KW V3, both 1400 and also there is a HKS Hipermax 3 for 800 but not a really good condition (already driven 20,000km as well). Between those, which one would you pick. Can anyone gimme some advice ?

I can Migoreng myself for a couple of weeks to spend about $1400 if its worthwhile .

P/S: my car's steering wheel shakes pretty badly at around 100km/h plus. I've already done wheel alignment + Balance. Check tire no camber wear. What could've caused the problem ??

Any input is well appreciated

Thank guys

I actually quite like the idea of KW V3 with progressive springs. Doesnt it mean the spring will have different stiffness in different road depending how the condition of the road and my driving style (ie: automatic adjust???) . Correct me if I'm wrong :D

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
