BC BR coilover review with a few install pics

BCs are a lot stiffer compared to ST/KW V1. A lot. I rode in 335i with just installed BCs and ride was bumpy as hell. I don't think handling is improved when your car jitters up and down constantly. No sir

How did you adjust your front ride height? Did you adjust the collars up to lower it? Or did you move the collars down to lower? The set I got from raceland tells me to move the collars down to lower my ride height and I’m sitting at stock height in the front. This set should drop me 1-3 inches... starting to think it’s the opposite adjustment.

If you could help me out I would appreciate your time. I wold like to know if you used the OEM rubber mount to seat the rear springs or did you pull that out and just set the springs in with the rubber pad that came with the set or is their something in the pitcher that was used for the rear bottom springs? And also what are the two round pieces with the rubber sleeve used for? Are they the extra in case you want to raise the car that much higher or are they used for something else. Thanks for any help you can give me, Sir.

I had insert in instructions to remove those stock rear spring to body/control arm pieces

I just installed BC's on my B5 Avant. Very impressed so far with the ride quality :smile:
