You Should Upgrade Sway Bars before Coilovers. Here's why: czcams.com/video/HPE0pXHu-MA/video.html
you should upgrade you springs before sway bars.
@@Hiluxmadman no
Happy to support creators in the community! (The end with the stripe is the left-hand thread BTW.)
I love these technical videos on suspension, especially because they contain both theory as well as the actual installation.
Thank you, sir.
Your videos are fab,
i got a good question i have been wondering about! do stiffer swaybar bushings help with body roll?
Another great video. Did your 340i come with the track package? It's my understanding that the track handling package came with m brakes, vss, adaptive suspension and additional oil cooers as well as a trans cooler. Do you by change have a video discussing this topic? I am looking to get a f30 340i as a project car that i can track and I'm trying to figure out if the THP is something i should be holding out for. I can't find much info out there. The additional oil coolers imo would be worth it.
It does have it but I don't think it's a requirement. It has extra radiators not really oil coolers, but they do indirectly cool the oil. The brakes are nice but base 340 brakes are still brembo calipers in front, so aggressive track pads should handle a beating.
What if you lowered your car and the endlinks comes with the coilovers is shorter than the stock? How do you install it?
Question - a lot of the guides for end links stress the need to raise both wheels to ride height (off the jackstands) so that the sway bar is not preloaded when it is lowered on the ground.
I’m planning to get an alignment anyway but just wanted to know your thoughts on this.
Also for EDC cars going with non-EDC coils, the stock end link on one of the front sides does not fit non-EDC struts, so new end links are definitely needed in those cases, and adjustables are worth it since they’re just 40 bucks over the oe replacements - just thought you’d like to know!
If you're getting an alignment then it basically does the same thing. You want the car level with driver's weight in the seat, and then adjust the end links so there's no preload. It's easier for a tech to do it on an alignment rack.
Thanks for the response - Ill just follow your method and let the alignment techs do any needed adjustments
Must have been because I only lifted one side but after removing the nuts off I could not pop out the old stock end link. May try again after watching this video.
yep doing both sides at the same time is key
Hey Kern, do you know anyway to play with front camber on the Xdrive cars other than the camber plates?
SPL makes front lower control arms that can do that.
The control arms are actually worse. On xdrive cars It can damage the axles. I recommend camber plates.
@@kern417 how are the axles damaged/failing? Is it wear in the CV over time, or something more immediate?
When you extend the control arms to add camber, it pulls the front axles to a bad position. Kies motorsports posted a video about it when he installed f8x arms on his f30.
Did you experience any clunking with the adjustable links?
Nope
Kern cheated in first… unfortunate
Just learned about this and had to try it 😅
lmao ive been driving my car slammed on front end links on my 540i still handles good
Hey kern, thx for the great content once again. I really need youre advise on the right map i should use . Heres the thing, im currently stage 2+ mhd with hpfp tu on my m440i 2019. I live in canada and here all i can get at pump gaz is 94 oct. But mhd only have fuel map for 93 and 95 oct. ...should i flash 93 or 95 oct?
Tried researching this some, looks like the best option for you is to go with a 91 oct tune. You can try 93 as well, but you really have to do some logs and look at your afr and timing corrections. Kern has a great video explaining how to read logs if you don’t know how.
@@KurumaDesignsi ran both 95 and 93 maps and logs looks better with 95 to me . Well lol as much as i can understand from what ive learned online😂
Rail pressure looks stable wgdc also. On 93 tune my boost psi rarely meets the target psi . And theres more cyl correction.
