Want to go lower

Anyone here in the DMV area or close by want to go lower on their x5 M. i have found a solution from a very reputable shop and brand. also the price is alot better then KW3s. These will be full coilovers and no air ride at all. i just want to see if there are any interests.

The company will be broadway static. They have a very good reputation and reviews for their setups. They have worked on many M series vehicles and they have proved to have quality setup including if not Better then factory ride quality. They just need a x5m for 1 week to do some testings to get that perfect ride. If anyone is interested let me know. Also the first customer will get a 50% discount off their Coilovers. Shoot me a pm and let me know who is interested. Thx

Better than stock ride is going to be nearly impossible unless the coilovers are going to be electronically dampened. I guess it's all very subjective.

I agree with others in that knowing the manufacturer would help people decide if they are interested.
Not sure what your trying to say. Are you saying you would not want to purchase Coilovers from broadway static?

I find it interesting that Broadway Static, and Fortune Auto coilovers are so similar. Both in assembled in the US, handbuilt, yada yada, but also in model names and features.

FA has a good reputation for the japanese import crowd. Better than a budget coilover is the general consensus.

I will say you cannot have a coilover that rides better than stock. NEVER. Increased NVH, increased noises, more maintenance, downtime to rebuild, etc... Coilovers are a commitment. Sounds cool, but impractical for the majority IMO.

That's all opinions. Some ppl prefer stiffer rides so you can not say Coilovers are not better then stock. Everyone has their purpose for Coilovers weather its for track, looks, or just that feeling of being lower then factory gives them satisfaction. One thing I do agree is you can never say something is better then another but you can give your personal opinion to get a feel for the products.
