Cooksport springs

[Alex27]

I'm after some cooksport springs either new or used if anyone could help me out, the springs I have on now are way too harsh

 

[Mikeyjp]

what springs are on it now? do not think you will notice the difference unless you go back to oem

 

[Claude]

OEM are much harsher than Sportlines, in my experience.

Cooksport are still a pretty jarring ride.

 

[Alex27]

I unfortunately have apex on it and they are horrible, I like how they have took the 4x4 look away from the car but every other thing about them is terrible

 

[Alex27]

Or is there any other springs that you's could suggest I've heard them sport lines are good but they arnt as low are they?

 

[Claude]

If you do a search for Cooksport / Sportline / Mark Fish springs you'll find some really useful info as it's been covered plenty. If you're still struggling then post up and someone will help out or point you in the right direction.

At the end of the day they are all going to be roughly the same height and stiffness, if you wanted a soft ride you should not have bought a trophy, or you just need to get used to it

 

[Alex27]

I don't want a soft soft ride just like so it doesn't make my teeth fall out every time there is a blade of grass on the road ahha

Did you get given the oem ones? Try them for a bit, then at least it will give you an idea what the ride is like out of the factory, I am running Mark Fish springs and Koni dampers that I have adjusted harder, and I have solid top mounts and powerflex rear purple damper bushes, I use the car as a daily and do not find it a problem

Just put some sportlines on it job done just fitted some to my cooper S lowered it and still a good ride.

 

[Alex27]

It was on OEM when I first got it wasn't a too bad ride I just hated how high it looked especially since everyone I know runs coilovers

 

[Mikeyjp]

Put coilovers on it then and keep your Sach wrapped up for a later date

Why would anyone bother to do this? Just buy a regular 182 if one is not going to appreciate it for the main difference between it and a regular 182.

Its hardly an investment that is going to make money (unless 105 has sold for £15.5k)

 

[Mikeyjp]

from what i have seen on here and other forums quite a few people do it, i think they are mad personally and do not know why people go out and buy a T if they want BMW comfort levels, makes no sence

 

[Alex27]

Just got some cooksports and went up hartside pass today they are miles better then the apex even lower too well pleased

Would you mind putting a couple of pics of how the car sits now with the cooksport fitted? Looking at getting a set next month and would be interested to see how it sits.

 

[Alex27]

That's with the apex on

That's with the cooksport on such a nicer ride too

 

[Kyle beresford]

That actually looks quite low with the cooksports on! Looking forward to getting mine now,thanks for putting up the pics
