    Looking for coilovers

    Im looking to lower my car. Please give some options and opinions. I liked the drop on FK Highsport coilovers but i guesss they don't make them anymore. if any one has recommendations or some good used coilovers let me know. Also I am not rich so try to make it budget friendly thanks

    This is what's gonna be in my 750il. Only have the fronts in, but I like them so far. I can update you in a couple weeks. Otherwise, BCs are somewhat the standard, they run around a grand

    I've been running bc coilovers for 3 years no complaints comes with sway bar links and can get them with different setups to suit your wants and usually about a grand to purchase. Not to mention there Tec support is fantastic. I called them up and they gave me the part number for what I wanted, and then found a deal on eBay

    +1 for the ST coil-overs if they're available - sister company of KW Suspension and are essentially V1s .
