Anyone have a r53 with TSW springs?
I am thinking about swapping my OEM springs with TSW and would like to get a ride from someone before I pull out my credit card.

I really love my TSWs on my 07 R56, I understand the improved R53 spring is a great ride.

Did you have these with stock struts/shocks?

FWIW, I have read many posts on this topic, and TSW's have a good rep. They lower the car evenly, and provide a very nice ride while providing better handling.
I believe Waymotorworks sells these springs, as well as a complete kit.

I got the TSW springs last week but have not installed them yet. DIY day would be a good time but I will be out of town.
Had h sport camber plates on OE strut and springs before but sold those in favor of IE fixed plates. Only for added ride comfort of bushings in IE vs mono ball in h sport.

For anyone with the TSW springs and KONI Sports/Yellows, where do you have the KONI's set? Is it a daily driver?
Thanks

Received by TSW springs and Vorschlag camber plates! Install on Sunday.
Still looking for feedback on daily driver KONI settings for the TSW spring/KONI Sport combo.
Thanks

Not full stiff.
Let us know what you think of the combo.
I don't have Koni on my R56, but might consider it for an OEM replacement with my TSW R56 springs.
