S68 X5MC wroteThe BC racing coilover is actually a complete set. They just offer two different series BR being better for daily driving and DS are more aggressive for street/track. Spring rate F - 12kg and R - 10kgI can only find what seems to be BC Racing Coilovers that you have to piece together and not a complete kit. Then we have the extortionate KW coilover price, plus neither of them will take the OEM plug into the shock. Why aren't there more options for these suv's by now!?

Megan Racing also offers complete set of coilovers. Looks like they're running 12 kgf/mm spring rates front and rear if that matters to you.

VipTouge wroteNice. But they're still not plug and play with the OEM connector. I'd like to have the option to adjust from the drivers seat like OEM.The BC racing coilover is actually a complete set.

S68 X5MC wroteI've been toying around lately with the thought of going to KW Coilovers. I was under the impression that they were made to order (I'm very impatient when it comes to waiting) but I reached out to a vendor and they are available now to ship. But spending nearly $10K (with installation) for what might be a very minimal drop over what I have now is what's got me stuck.I can only find what seems to be BC Racing Coilovers that you have to piece together and not a complete kit.

Didn't know that BC Racing even had an option. If it truly drops 2.5-3" from stock height, color me intrigued. I've reached out to them for additional info. I've had BC Racing coilovers on another vehicle and they were perfectly fine.
S68 X5MC wroteFrom my experience, it's very rare for an aftermarket coilover kits that will retain the OEM EDC. Not even the KW V4 offers it which is why they include EDC cancellation modules to avoid any codes thrown.Nice. But they're still not plug and play with the OEM connector.

I’m looking for a slight drop from the large stock one and bought some HR sport springs. Anyone do these springs without changing the UCAs and have some pics?
Thanks
Yardi78 wroteGo to the first page and scroll down... A guy posted the drop measurements and it's the same as the Dianan springs. So I'd say the UCA's aren't needed.Hi,

All those UCA's do is change the camber by about 1 degree, so not really visible with the naked eye.

TTTTTTT wroteI care. You're doing it the RIGHT way. Enjoy.Not that anyone particularly cares, I've decided to move forward with the KWv4's (a new set and not the used set posted above). Install date set for Monday May 4th.
TTTTTTT wroteI've thought about doing the same. If I do it'll be this winter so I'm not dying in the garage with the Florida heat.Not that anyone particularly cares, I've decided to move forward with the KWv4's (a new set and not the used set posted above). Install date set for Monday May 4th.
Edit: I'd be interested to hear your reveiw on them after the issues we've had with our H&R's.
TTTTTTT wroteHave had v4s for years. They are the best once you set them up right. Couple tips here. Adjustments always from full stiff. Settings can be personal and you can always start from what the instructions list. Just know the only way to adjust rear rebound is to remove the shock.Not that anyone particularly cares, I've decided to move forward with the KWv4's (a new set and not the used set posted above).

If curious on my settings I’m doing 5 clicks open of both low and high speed compression front and 4 clicks open high and low rear. For rebound left the rear at the kw suggested number and for the front just went one click stiffer.
The beauty of these coilovers is the low and high speed compression. Can run a stiffer low speed to control squat, dive, and roll while at the same time have a softer high speed so you don’t get out of sorts on ruts, potholes, etc.

VipTouge wroteYeah try not to go past their max low suggestion as range of travel will become too compromised. Suspension travel is a thing. 🤣Curious if you have them maxed out to the lowest ride height setting?
m5 guy wroteThanks for sharing your settings, it will be of great help! My one trepidation of getting these are getting the settings right.

I plan on going lower (KW recommendations be damned!) than what it appears you have so further adjustments may be needed. Although not on an F95, my shop has installed multiple sets of KW coilovers so I take a bit of comfort knowing they'll help getting everything dialed in.
