    I just had the B12 kit delivered for my E92 335i. I couldn't stand the Koni FSD and Eibach pro-kit springs any longer(1.5 years), that's not a setup if you want to do any kind of spirited driving.

    I have to drop Valdas a PM but hoping to get them fitted in the next week or so. I can let you know what i think then,

    Thats an interesting one, as they are supposed to go hand in hand together. I went for the FSD, albeit with OEM springs and a full suspension refresh, and would highly rate them over standard dampers. What issues were you having?

    B12 comes with pro-kit springs does it not?

    I would be interested to hear your feedback in terms of ride compliance

    While the FSD do soak up bumps well it's the unpredictability that i dislike, it's ok when you're just cruising along but if you do a bit of spirited driving they can feel unpredictable and not confidence inspiring particularity in corners that aren't perfectly smooth. They give a tendency under or overreact at certain times over certain types of uneven terrain that can give you a jostly effect. Maybe having them with OEM springs is more compliant, koni originally said they were to be used with OEM springs but changed later on to say springs with a slight drop are ok too.

    But i can't complain as they are "Frequency selective dampers" so by design they will handle differently depending on conditions. I think i just prefer a more regular sport shock/spring setup.

    I could of just got B8 shocks but i thought I'd be just as handy to get the B12 kit together so brand new shocks/springs all around.
