Default coilover apart from kw v3 for awd

i am about to pull the trigger on kw v3, but get the quote on the whole set up go straight to 4000 dollar! all my friends said it's not worthy. one of them show a much cheaper opinion which is godspeed coilover. Has anyone heard of it or had on the car? How is the ride quality?Godspeed BMW 5 Series 03 10 E60 Monomax coilover Suspension Kit Damper Struts | eBay

I just installed a set of CX Racing coilovers from Fleebay. 1st week i hated them as the ride was
Too hard. After 3 weeks the springs have setteled and imloving them, the handling improvment is
Fantastic. After some research i found that a number of the better coilover sellers buy from the same
Korean manufactorer. Good luck whichever you choose..

I have BC racing. They feel great. I raised my car to stock height just for the winter and it still handles better than factory. They are fully adjustable and ran me 1200. One of the best things I ever invested in for the car.

Remember guys the thread title says for E60 AWD. Completely different suspension setups. KW V3, that Godspeed, Emotion, and those ones sold by a vendor here with Swift springs are your only option.

Here's a link to the Emotion ones. Can't commend on quality since I'm riding stock.

ISC also sells coilovers for the E60 AWD. New KW3s are going for $2.1k over at modbargains.

I got a set of CKS coilovers with the Swift spring upgrade for 1750 shipped and they are amazing. They feel like stock if you want or if you make them stiffer they handle insanely well. I would def recommend them.

I have a 2010 535ix E60 with M package with 19" M wheels with offsets and looking to upgrade suspension with coilovers. Looks like there is one take to the bank option KW V3's (no bad reviews, just expensive) and several lower cost options with some mixed or no reviews. Emotion, CKS w/ Swift Coils, and Godspeed Performance. Anybody put these lower cost options on and have insight to share?
