From KSports recommendation, 1k decrease is plenty. If you go crazy you start bottoming out.

Really? The Megans are rated as 6K and even the stock non-sport front is 7K. KW Street comforts are 5K. Is it the shocks themselves that keep those from bottoming out?

That means ksport factory setting is the stiffest? So if i change it to a softer spring rate will i get a comfort ride??
Does anyone have done this before???
Just checked on kw website that the spring for street comfort is actually a progressive spring,
whereas ksport on the other hand is not..

I think 6k spring rate would be perfect..
Michael, can i get a quote on the spring replacement part?

Is there such a thing as a reasonable set of coil overs for a 2008 528xi?

Does anyone here know the spring rate for stock sports springs on a 2008 535i? I've been able to find that non-sport springs are 400 lbs/inch or 7kg in the front and progressive in the back (but not which rate limits on the progression). Any information will be greatly appreciated.
