Final review of Sonic Tuning coilovers

I know, I keep post whoring on this....so I promise, this is my last one. And I never posted pics in this section.

I just wanted to put this one out to make sure no one got a bad impression of these coilovers.

I finally got the install for sure good to go now. I still have to do a couple other things but nothing to do with the install. I'm going back to the shop to get a piece put back on (other parts were used as subsitute) and get them to raise it back up just a hair in the front. I love how it's sitting and how it looks but I'm rubbing in the front on bad bumps. So I can't deal with that.

I'm going to get them to re-torque everything too. And there's a guy there that is going to roll my fenders. Right now I have 5mm spacers in the back. Those will go up front and I have some 10mm for the rear. Both MS's. I tried it with them on but the rear was rubbing bad. Damnit, I didn't want to take them off. I've seen some on here say they couldn't tell any difference with 5's but I can see it barely.

Anyway...I took it in to get my brake squeal fixed at the dealer. They replaced my pads/brake sensors and they gave me a Z4 35i as a loaner. I realized after driving that around for a few days in sport + that my car is driving like it is supposed too. That car was pretty rough over bumps/cracks.

Now that I have mine back and can realize that with coils, you're just going to have a more harsh ride like some told me. My car now rides/handles so well. From the other reviews I've read on KW's, these are just as good.

Anyway, I thought I'd share some pics of how low it's sitting right now. I'm only going to raise it up a little.

The pics are crappy I know.

Thanx to tee, mike, Jose and Ray for all the help. Sonic tuning has great customer service!

ray@sonictuning is the vendor on here. Their site is sonictuning.com. Just search sonic tuning on here and you'll find them.

I paid $900 for the S1's. I might be selling these soon for a REALLY good price.

if you sell them, what are you looking to get in replacement? My buddy put them on an A4 and likes them so far. He's had them for about 2k miles.
