    Curious if anyone has opinions on the swift springs from BC-Racing Coil-overs, I am looking for a comfortable lowered ride, are they worth the extra cash? also an update I may be ordering as soon as Thursday this week so quick knowledge would be of most help Thank you all for your posts Im in love with all of your lowered e38s! Enjoy driving your 740s the rest of the week!

    Nike32 thank you so much for the responses I am ordering first thing tomorrow morning I’m going with bc racing extreme drop and their normal spring rates but will be using 16 in front and 10 in rear when time is right! Hopefully for spring next year. I will be posting pictures next week after installation! For now enjoy the e38!

    Monday I ordered my BC Racing coil-overs. I am so anxious, I'm squirming every second of every day. I didn't realize they generally take 3-4 weeks to assemble and test. They are to ship 8/31/18 which really sucks, as Im riding on springs at this point... driving with the body roll really is getting annoying. anyways ill post with updates!

    UPDATE!!! (serious question below) I have had my coil-overs for three months and didn't have the time until this week man are BC coil-overs nice looking! we have been installing them after work and all are in now I am 1" in the rear and .5 in the front to my surpize it looks great but im not sure if i want to go lower but winter is right around the corner i think ill wait till next spring to go any lower. tonight we will be setting all the levels to make her sit correctly but here are some pictures to settle whats left of the nerves ha.What do you guys do with the auto ajusting headlight arms are they good to go back on after the coil overs are installed? Personally I imagine they would be but what do you all do? IMG_4398[1].jpgIMG_4395[1].jpgIMG_4396[1].jpg

    PS. You can change camber/caster with BC racing If order the upper plates
    springs and strut.. nope.
    I hate you. Thought I was all set on bilsteins
    And springs but then you brought up camber.. how much is a whole setup? $2k? Do you have pn by chance?

    Should be way less than 2k
    As I said my set cost me 1000€
    +Camber plates were for a 100€/ per axle, so +-1200€ in total
    But someplaces sell camber plates with the set, and you can find them even cheaper.
