When your putting Coilovers on the 550!... Is it just to lower or is the ride better and Corning Street Hugging ability better?

coils will do both... lower the ride and lower the center of gravity. no body roll and they will make the car corner MUCH better.
id do your coils.. but i have no experience with the sensors..
if i had a lift id do it for you in a heartbeat. im in southwick, about 2 hours from you.
see how much turner motorsport wants to do them. .they shouldnt be to far from you.

Are the KW Coilovers one of the best for ... Say an 09 550i! What %age do the Coilovers have over stock Cornering and Road Handling? Is it 10%? Or better! Is it that good!
Thinking of the possibilities.

Im a little confused on the headlight leveling everyone is talking about. I have dynamic headlights with auto level and when i changed to coilovers i did not see anything attached to the old struts/springs.

After changing to the coilovers my headlights still adjust up and down every time i start the car. I dont think the leveling has anything to do with the struts or did i do something right by accident?

How come the KW V2 Series Coils are more expensive compared to the HR Coils? For an 09 5501! Thanks Dan
