My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
I got my KSport coilovers yesterday, today Michael (acuteperformance) came down to my house to lend a hand on the install. I will post pics tomorrow after I make some minor adjustments (I mounted the rears too low, tires rub 
). Just want to give Michael a BIG THANKS for his help on the install. 
(Told you creative works better than muscle sometimes 
).
YOUR TURN MELVIN!!!!!
Initial reaction? The ride is much more comfortable, stiffer but without sacrificing ride. I will update this thread I get some more miles on them and can provide a more comprehensive review.
For those that are not familiar KSport is pretty big in the drift scene and were mentioned to me by some friends when I was looking for coilovers. When I found out Michael was selling these I jumped on em, the build quality looks great and the bushings on the upper mounts should eliminate the rattle normally associated with coilovers.
I will keep you guys posted

congrats..looking forward to further review....I've read on the Nex coilovers the front does not nearly go as low as the rears, is that the case with Ksport coilovers as well? Either way, you know...pics or it didn't happen 
so now that Nex, DS, and Ksport for coilover alternatives (aside from KW and JIC)....nice

Also have to give Joe (Rizbel) credit, studying his DIY before the install made things SOOOOOO much easier - Joe you are the man!!!! I was thinking of doing a DIY on this but it would have been redundant, great job Joe
