I know there's another thread but instead of highjacking that one I thought I'd start my own. Long story short I've been trying different suspension setups for the past couple years. I started with stock sport suspension then tried Eibach and lastly Vogtland. Eibach was very well balanced but lacked in overall drop and while Vogtland provided the drop I wanted the rear felt a little stiff. I was at a crossroads......go full air ride setup or try BC Racing's latest release, the BR Coilover setup for the E70 X5. Clearly if you are reading this you know which way I decided.
As I go through the installation process I'll be sure to post pics and do an in depth review after I've had some time to let things settle. Of course if you've seen my YouTube channel, "BimmerMarketplace" you guys are probably familiar with some of the DIY videos I have posted. I'll try to upload some videos during my installation process that may help those DIYers should they decide to tackle this on their own.
Anyways, let get to the good stuff. Here are some specs of the coilover setup:
- 30-way Adjustable Dampening
- Fully Adjustable Ride Height
- Custom Swift Spring Option
- Completely Rebuildable Assemblies
Of course there's a lot more but these are the features I really have come to appreciate. I will say this, I previously had BC Racing coilovers on my E60 M5 and call me crazy but I actually enjoyed them more so than the KW setup I had. That being said I'm really hoping I have the same experience with these as I did on my M5 as they were easy to tune and for a coilover setup, were very comfortable.
