Sup Melvin!!! How'r they hangin?
Hahaha, yea. I didn't think it was going to take that long to get where I needed to go. BTW, I just picked up a set of OEM roof racks from a guy on Craigstlist. Crazy price. I basically stole it!! Now I need to be patient until I find a bike rack. BTW, I noticed that the door seals are bothered when the roof rack is on. Does yours create excessive wind noise by any chance?

lol thats too stiff for my taste. I set mine at 7 clicks all 4 corners at first. I felt like I was riding a pony lol! its much better now since I have 15 clicks on the front to full stiff and 12 in the rear. I might set mine to all soft to see if I like the ride.

So, I rode around on the softest settings on all corners for a day and a half and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised.
It's quite comfy. I would say it's 80% stock sport suspension ride characteristics and 20% stiffer and nimbler with the lower ride-height.

i just had my car back on the lift to get ksports re-adjusted after a week of settling(even tho they didnt really settle) i wanted to lift the rear .5-.75 of an inch and drop the front .25 to make her even all around. when we put the wheel back on the front and spun it the inner lip was hitting the lower spring collers so we had to lift it back to where it was which leave the lip like a fraction of a mm from the collers. but the wheel and suspension rebound in unison so it dosent hit. i need a 5mm spacer kit for the front.either way it rides better now with the back a little higher. i was nealry tucking wheel before and it just didnt feel right(looked coool tho) also found a meaty screw in my tire which he plugged up realy quick

I tried on the softest settings on all corners, but I felt a bit bouncy then I set 8 clicks on the front to the hard and rear remain full softest, now I feels better. I will try 6 clicks on the rear to the hard soon and see how it works.

Ok will try the softest setting..
I think the spring rate is too hard for lighter car like my 520i
Michael is it possible to change just the spring with
a softer spring rate??
