Thanks for the info. I'm just about ready to go coils and get rid of my Eibach/stock shocks.
I just might go this route too. These seem like a less expensive alternative to KW's.
Yes, please keep us posted. Thanks!

They also carry a less expensive version called the NEX SS for our cars, it has only height adjustability but the shocks are preset.

Nice, cheaper options are always a plus. I know the BMW community tends to get snobby and say KW, Bilstein, JIC/Cross, etc. or go home stock. But in the Japanese car forums I visit, there are a ton of cheaper alternatives such as these Nex, Apexi, k-sport, megan, etc. Wish there were more for our cars but I'm anxious to hear your review! I was going to change out my stocks within the next 5-10k miles but I'm thinking I might as well get coils.
Oh and where did you pick these up from?

yeah ive seen it quite a bit on here, considering that KW V2 wholesale based on your location is $1500-$1680 the rest is dealer markup.
I got mine from Maxspeedperformance.com
They gave me a smoking deal and I just got off the phone with Ritchie over there. Im going to stop in after the install and they are going check it out and take some snaps

The other thing too its all about reasonable expectations for something like this, Im not expecting super high end coils and I didnt pay for that either. I deff wont fanboy these if they are just ok, great or crappy. Ive read enough BMW owners reviews on these to feel comfortable buying them and testing them out for the e60 and our forum.
