i know you spent a grip on those advans but you should really look into JIC coilovers, its a much better design and honestly those ksports are nice but the markup is pretty big on them, if you could get the for 600 then id say yes but at a 1000 id just get JICs

I got H&R fully threaded coilovers on my 545i. Had H&R race springs on my stock sport struts and theres definitely a noticeable improvement in ride, response, and performance over my last setup. Not looking to track my 5 series so these were "good enough" as I wanted to buy from a reputable manufacturer like H&R as my last 7 setups were H&R on previous cars.
I wanted to aggressively lower my car on 20" wheels and used 1/3rd of the threads in the fronts and 1/2 the threads in the rear and was able to achieve a nice tire tuck all around. I paid $700 used as they were used for 2-3,000 miles. At that price I say their worth every penny as long as you know what you're getting into. If I spent more than that I probably would have gone FK or KW. Everyone gives K-Sports great reviews which is all probably true...it's just in the PAST years on other applications I haven't heard such good things which ultimately turned me off from pursuing. That said I kept it safe with the H&R's. No complaints here.
Truthfully with all the reviews out there I don't think you can really go "wrong" with any manufacturer that this board recommends.
Hope this helps.

Unless you're tracking or doing frequent canyon runs...Cross is overkill.
As nice as they are, they are overkill for the average application.

I've been using H&R coilovers since December 2007...no problems for me, but I don't have any other brand to compare them too..
