Questions:
1. What size are the shock bodies? I want to retrofit a sports airbag onto it.
2. If I have stock rear airbags. Can I order the full kit? I'm looking to delete the stock bags for a bag on coilover set up.
Thanks.

Hello all,
I decided to jump in on this kit for our e61. It has 115k miles on it and the suspension is an atrocity. It's my wife's daily driver, but I can't stand it anymore. We occasionally go on lengthy trips as a family, and it pains me to ride along due to the excessive looseness of the chassis.
It has upgraded brakes and an MHD Stage 2 tune (also FMIC/CP and DCI) , so this really heightens the imbalance and control deficiency.
The plan is to remove the airbags as it is rare that we haul heavy stuff. Besides, the pump and electronics are a liability. If the control module fails, the car will drop and sit on the rear tires to be undrivable. This has once happened as the trunk got flooded and killed the modules in the bottom. (Since relocated to side compartment.)
I am leaning towards the Street Comfort version and will drop the car a good inch at least.
Would like to hear impressions from others who have experience with this kit.
My 535 sedan has KW V2s which I run at 0 in rear and 6 in front. No need to go any firmer on the e61 as it is a DD grocery hauler.
