Default FK E60 XDrive Coilovers

Confirmed by FK that all of their E61 coilovers eliminate the rear auto leveling system and use coil springs. That means these fit E60 Xdrive models. It looks like they have a few different levels of performance starting under $700 for a set.

Just got off the phone with ESE Tuning and they said that FK haven't been manufacturing their coilovers for over 7 months and no one that they know of has them in stock. They also DON'T fit xi sedans and have been tested.....

Thanks for the update, knew something wasn't right. But it would be a great alternative for Xi owners if it was true.

I have been searching High and Low for another alternative to the "$2,800" dollar KWs ........other than springs (H & R ) which I am currently using on stock struts ( which are no good btw),,,,can I find these KWs used somewhere or just any other coilover alternative?.....I am super desperate for a cheaper alternative I swear im about to either sacrifice a goat or do the rain dance.
