I'm interested in coilover too, and planning to buy from KW. But do anyone know is the ride harsh? I am now using stock and have lots of bumpy road. I wish to have better handling without a too harsh ride and I do not wish to reduce the car height. Thanks. Fried Egg

Well, if you run stock now & feel your car harsh.. don't go with coilovers. you will go with Koni adjustables & you have the posivility of turns the car softer or stiffer in 5 positions (1= very softer than the stock, 3 = pretty close to the stock & 5 = harsh harsh) . you need to understand too if you want better handling your car need to be harsh than the stock, the stiffer positions made the car not suitable to the roll movement.. & any can change that "if you want handling, your car need to be stiffer"
Other variable is the price.. the KW are an extreme performance suspension if you have 2000$ - 2300$ (i don't see other brand), koni's round 700$ all 4 & bilstein HD round 400 500 all 4
Hope that help

Thanks for the info.
I have owned an Acura TL four years ago, and installed a set of TEINS Comfort Sport Coilover for it. It's extremely more comfortable than shocks in highways and city thru bumps and because it is stiffer, my wife will not vomit even I am playing in the mountain roads. This experience tells me that a nicely setup suspension can be very comfortable and handles well. I think that the rebound must be adjustable to match the springs. I have set them up for a month to make it perfect.
Since I am using the stock on my E55 now, it gives me no room to adjust. Therefore, this is the reason why I would like to upgrade it to an adjustable coilover.
Just my 2 cents. Thanks.
