We have Eibachs with stock shocks and it feels much less floaty than before, but without being too harsh for my wife. That, combined with replacing the runflats with regular tires has made a world of difference to the overall handling, well worth it for us!

You wife must be really pushing the cars limits. I don't really ever notice the floaty feeling unless I'm pushing it around a sharp curve.

LOL - very possible as she's going through 2 qts of oil every 2 months or so. Even when I don't get on it, just something about the ride that bugs me. It could be "loose" steering feel as well.

Thank you - we have Conti DWS on currently so all we need are the springs

That's the feedback that I've heard from others but I can't speak from personal experience.

Has anyone actually got the BC Racing Coilovers that can speak to the ride quality?
I'm also thinking that even though they market the I-74-BR for the F16 exclusively, it must work for the F15... That said I found this post on the BC Forged Wheels site, and it shows a F15 with their BC Racing Coilovers, sooooo.... https://www.bcforged-na.com/project/...ing-coilovers/ |

My decision: I've done extensive research and feel that my use case will work nicely with the BR Series Coilover setup. I am not opting for the Swift Spring Upgrade considering this is my daily driver and I want a softer ride. The standard 14/12 spring rates should also serve me nicely however there is a lot of adjustability (30 clicks) on the struts if I want to stiffen up the ride. I should see an uptick in performance over the stock suspension (see "bouncy castle") and pick up a nice 2-2.5" drop for an aggressive stance. I honestly would have loved to own the KWV3s but the price of $995 is hard to beat. Too many mods to consider... All said I haven't seen a bad review from the other platforms, but I haven't found a single F1X owner to vouch for these Coilovers. Only time will tell but I'm bullish on the setup albeit a small gamble. I will report back once installed with my BC Forged RZ21 22s for the full BC experience

No, this setup was designed for 4 springs / no EDC.

Great! I'm on radar to change my X5 M-sport suspension to make it stiffer after drving smaller X2. X2 is handling super well than X5.

A few shots of the BC Racing Coilovers before they go on Friday! They look mean.

The front setup looks literally IDENTICAL to the Silvers setup. Interesting to see the rear spring is a barrel spring. I might reach out to them and see if they'll just sell me a set of the rear springs alone. Is there a PN on the rear Spring?

Roughly 4.5" width at the center. Roughly 7.5" length of just the spring.

Are you doing the install yourself? I'm curious if the barrel design vs the standard compression will make a difference.

Are you looking to go super low? One thing I'm really interested to see is how low/high the rear spring adjuster has to be set to reach your desired height.

Make sure you don't have rear air or EDC. This was only made to upgrade "standard suspension", i.e. 4 springs
