Okay got it.

I got them from bimmerworld, as usual not marked up as high as ECS. Not sure if ECS does the lifetime on these or not. Unlikely that I would realistically take advantage of that. Probably more likely you won't be able to get them by the time they are needed. Unless they blow right after warranty which is possible.

Some of these parts to assemble the top hats are getting expensive. I might have to waste the time and take them apart just for the spring perches. It's still kind of worth it to not have to do that though I think. At least my cheap spring compressor tool fits between these springs.

Things REALLY add up with this refresh. If reusing some of your current parts, count on new lower spring pads and axial bearings that fit into upper spring plates. Each of these is tough to reuse. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the setup, though.
