The ride is great, it rides so smooth and better than stock. When i unpacked everything I set the shocks at the factory recommended settings. I've driven over 500 miles and don't feel the need to change anything. Question that I have is, I installed the front shocks at the lowest recommended height, if the springs settle some more do I need to raise it? No rubbing and weird noises, very happy with everything so far. I will try to take some better pictures this week. Any suggestion appreciated. Thanks!

That said, the KW warranty, while lifetime for the original purchaser, only applies if installed correctly at their ride height recommendations. Since you can't really adjust camber without expensive BMW parts, why not raise it as needed, to keep it in spec? They are very smart in what they do, I'm pretty sure we're not as smart as them when it comes to suspensions. http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...ur-part-1.aspx

Do they ride a lot better than your Dinan springs?

If losing EDC is a big concern, I would say you'll be very pleased with the ride quality of the coilovers. It's a progressive spring, so it'll feel very cushy and almost like normal during regular driving. The spring stiffens up under a heavier load (aka turning agressively), which is when you need it to stiffen up in the first place. So it really is like taking the best of both worlds with the EDC function

I hear ya. OP got an amazing deal, but if you'd rather not roll the dice with a dealer like that, Omar at Velos had the best deal on them I could find.
