do you have a link to them by any chance, i can't find them??
I also saw a post on another thread about KW making some, but it looks like they are only for euro-spec f30 xdrives or something like that?? |

I also emailed KW some time in December. They said "no word" on USA release of xdrive F30 coilovers and when I asked whether the ones from the International site would work on USA cars, they gave an indirect answer which neither confirmed but sort of denied the possibility and no other info was forthcoming. You should just email them. At least they're both responsive. But still, very disappointing.... |

I will probably email them regardless for the info, I'm just disappointed too. I have the sport H&R on my car now and it looks perfect but man if you hit any sort of pot hole it's brutal....i knew that going in and just makes me want coil-overs that much more now... |

Just FYI for everyone, this was the response I got from BC:
Yes, we have the BR Series for the F30 xdrive. They come with 6kg front springs and 12kg rear springs. This kit shipped to the 48 contiguous states is $1050. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. If you would like assistance in placing an order you can give us a call at the number below. Regards, Tim Griffith BC RACING NORTH AMERICA Monday-Friday, 9:30 AM-5:30 PM EST. 1-321-206-6381 TEL 1-800-741-1972 FAX Is BC really that bad? I couldn't tell you the difference between BC, KW, Bilstien, or CKS. |

anyone have any input on the different coilover vendors and why I should wait and see what else comes out by these other guys and potentially pay more?

lol I just spoke with him. bc ae the only available at the moment that he is aware of but says quality is hit and miss. He recommends KWs which I knew anyway as quality products so lets hope they are released soon....

Thats what I would expect from a linear spring like the BC racing setup it. Linear springs tend to be stiffer, bouncier and rougher while progressive springs ride smoother. KW is a progressive spring and BC are linear. You can tell by looking at the spring shape. Linear springs are just that, constant distant between the coils. Progressive have varying distances between coils. |
