i guess i like sportier handling of the Ksports more than most.

I am not sure what you expected, but for me, I wanted a performance suspension and that is exactly what I got.

I had the stock sport suspension as well prior to getting the KSports and it's a hands down great improvement on cornering and stability during spirited driving.

That's interesting b/c I had an 06 530i sport and thought that rode pretty harsh and did not settled down with that.

It's why I m interested in comparing against the LCI 535i stock sports.

Is it possible to obtain a stock non-sport ride on the Ksports? I want to lower my car but keep the ride comfort for daily driving. However, I would then want to change the ride for occassional spirited driving up the mountains.

Hello All,

After riding on the KSports for a while I have become accustom to the ride. I dont think its punishing at all. It is noticeably stiffer than the OEM Sport suspension. I have my settings currently on the softest (all the way to the left). Here are some latest pics (added matte black grilles). Still hasnt settled at all. (not that I have noticed anyway).
