Custom spring rates for X5?
 
I ordered some BC Racing BR + that came with swift springs. Circuit motor sports offered me custom spring rates, but I went with stock. I tried finding the spring rates for KW's ,but no luck. What is your opinions? did I make the right choice of staying with stock spring rates? Always after I make a payment I start to have second thoughts...

What I went with:
Front=9kg/mm(500lbs/inch), rear=12kg/mm(671lbs/inch)

Edit: I have sport package and I'm comfortable with the ride. Just the thought on possibly having a "better" ride by adjusting the spring rates.

I did get the extreme drop kit :)

Edit: also threw in the rear camber plates, I'm not sure if I will be able to correct the camber with the stock adjustment. I want to keep my tires lol!!!

Post some pics when they're installed I'm looking to but the extreme drop kit for mine but I'm waiting until my birthday in March. Any reason why u got the swift springs?

Did some research and many people did recommend over the bc racing springs. I figured why not pay the extra couple hundred and be satisfied. Some people did say you wont notice a difference with the swift springs though. I wont be able to afford the kw's at about 3k. So the bc racing with swift springs were the next best option for me. I want to pair the coils with some 128's 21 x11.5 :). I have to start scrapping some money for tires next because we all know the price for offsize tires. Unless any body has some ideas for some good looking wheels that are wide

Delivery time is about to 4-6 weeks because they have to be custom made at the warehouse.

There is a guy on NYC Craigslist that has a set of 128's for 1400
