    You nailed it.

    NEXX are probably made in the same factory that makes the meganracing coilovers along with godspeed, apexi low end coilovers and many more.
    There is no replacement for displacement; try boost!!

    Suck
    Guys I can't tell you what Nex stuff feels like in an e39, but I've been in an e34 car with them, and they actually ride VERY nice. Comperable to a Vogtland/Billy HD setup in stiffness. The ride comfort can be adjusted through preload on the spring, and on a set of lowered e34 housings you get a great drop with really decent ride and handling. Parts quality in the hand doesn't feel anywhere near as cheap as a lot of guys were suspecting it would be, they really are a decent package, especially for the price. Just figured I'd throw that in there for you.

    Go ahead and bite. Plenty for everyone.

    I did, search for thread made by me. It's called " I finally installed coilovers"

    I'm very happy with them. Comfortable ride. I'm tucking my tires too.

    wonder if we can have a reviews section (or sticky maybe) for e39 stuff.

    I had it in my accord and it was super stiff. Ride was tight through the corners but they blew out within a few years and started to ride like crap. For the price its not bad but I wouldnt use it on the e39.

    Also I had the car parked in the garage its whole life and the coils still rusted.
