Just installed mine as well on my touring. About a week/300 miles on this setup.

Had the rears at about halfway and it was pretty much dumped (24.5"). I don't mind slammed, but this was tucking half the tire lol. Over next few days, I raised it like 6-9 turns and the rear barely went up. However, the ride has notably degraded and it feels like i'm not raising the car, just compressing spring and the rebounds is bouncy/oscillating a bit. Honestly feels like I just have cut springs.

Haven't checked if there is coil bind, but wouldn't be surprised. Unsure if that's an indicator of anything.

Unmodified Bilstein bump stops.

Curious if others are having issues with the rear. Considering changing the rear springs as I'm not happy with the ride. I've had in the past on other BMWs KW V2, GC Street/School, PSS9 and Eibach Pro-Street Coils.

Unless something is stuck I don't see how extending the spacer wouldn't raise the car...The car should be "floating" on the spring. Unless you maxed out the struts, like if they're the wrong ones. Doubt it.

I followed some track setup advice and set the rear 3/4" higher than the front as measured from the ground to the inner wheelwells.

I think I mentioned bouncy in this thread. The springs are just heavy as far as I can tell, so when you hit a bump they compress and then bounce the car up.

It does seem weird, I will adjust the height more and report back.

Did you resolve the rear being bouncy?

No, but I assume softer springs or higher rebound struts would lessen it, with tradeoffs.

I don't think I have an oscillation issue, unless it's road related. It bounces once per bump.
