Oops, my bad, I was looking at a set for my E36 when I wrote that. You are correct that the BCs are adjustable. Looks like a good optio, go for it and report back! Too bad you are to closer to Philly, we could compare rides.

KWs are also resistant to corrosion and use a bit more expensive steel for that. Folks in 3 series forum opt for ST coilovers - that are owned by KW and are exactly same coilovers, but made from less expensive steel for those who don't have snow and salt to worry about. The problem is that there is no KW3 option in ST lineup (only KW1 and possibly KW2)

Passed an F85 X5M on the interstate today and really liked the stance. Has me wondering if the F85 X5M suspension can be used on the F15 X5? I have an xline with standard suspension...would the X5M suspension lower the car significantly?

Side note-you guys think the dinan supplement ride quality and handling kit would fit the 50i msport? I have HR springs currently on it and wanted to add the kit to help with bottoming out.

Interesting! I swear it looked lower. Of course it was on OEM 21" wheels and I'm on 22" reps. If the F85 was lower I'm sure we'd see way more F15's on that suspension.

Shocks also different compression amd rebound. But the geometry and main components are the same.

But if you want to avoid riding on a bump stop, then you change to Dinan bump stop.

I've looked at that and thought about it but it really comes back to the soft stock shocks. We need something tighter that will help with both rebound and compression.

Otherwise, KW V3 is your best option. I would not even look into cheaper brands. You get what you pay for.

I just realize that there are 3 kinds of kw v3 for our cars and one of them does support 4 springs 😜

I tried searching around but couldn't find spring rates. Does anyone know the standard suspension factory spring rates for front a rear? I would also like to know H&R and KW spring rates.
