Thanks All-
My shop is starting the install tomorrow- No one ever mentioned the existing hardware kit so I will bring this up to the shop tomorrow. I emailed the shop foreman the BMW installation guide that the dealership uses to properly install the kit. If they are not comfortable installing the per BMW NA- I'm going to take it to my BMW dealer and have them do the install- |

to do the proper set up you need scales to conrner balance the car ,fuck what bmw says.If you are always alone in the car when you have fun setting with 2 75kg in the front is bullshit. You have to set it with the sway bar disconnected to avoid false reading. 49.5% cross weight is fine for road. Be sure to use adjustable endlinks or you will induce load to the swaybar and this is womthing you don't want.

I had my suspension installed at BMW, and they did have to order all of the hardware. I believe it cost me around $80.

Once done, CG reconnected the oem drop links with zero force so adjustable ones aren't a pre-requisite for MPerf coilovers if staying close to oem ride height settings. CG set corner balance with solo driver (weighted drivers side only)

I dropped the car to around 15mm so I needed different endlinks This is the rear endlinks lenght difference. Of course you adjust properly only one wheel

It has settled since and I don't want it any lower TBH as the car has double duty DD & TDs.

I'm pointing out that adjustable drop links aren't essential.

in my opinion they are. try to remove them and see if there is or there isn't any load. i bet you can't. i did many of these . one right last saturday. you can also move the position of the swaybar but you are changing the leverage of the suspension
