Hi everybody new member here. I actually became a member because I just needed to reply to this post (yes, I am a forum whore), first off I did swap from KW to Cross. I'm very satisfied with the switch, although I drive an M3. What smellyfoot here said is true, there is a sligth bounciness with the KW that you really don feel until you switch coilover, in my opinion the Crosses were definately more......... I dont know...... the only way for me to describe it is controlled. It feels more like what the car is supposed to feel like, its hard to describe. I didn't know that Cross made coilovers for the E60, these things will sell quick for sure. I know a lot of people that swears by Cross now, mostly a few people I know at the porsche clubs (these guys knows there suspension). Out with the old KW and in with the new Cross.
By the way you should most definately look for more quotes, that price is rediculous for install. I know people will do it for 150 dollars, Its worth 2 hour labor, and going rate is 65 to 75 dollars an hour for a good mechanic. Where are you located?
Let me know if you have any questions. I have tested out several suspensions, Bilstein, KW, Eibach, and Im sticking with Cross. I might be able to help if you have q's.

Anybody else have any reviews on these. I want to know what everybody else thinks about these, I know there is a noticeable difference, between these kits and everything else. Awesome suspension!!! Hope the buyers enjoy.
I know I do I swear by Cross now.

Possibly, but JIC/CROSS would need an XI car to see if they can make a set.
