Currently the car has around 54k miles on it and from browsing around it sounds like that's about the time the shocks should be replaced. My current car, (97 Camry) I did a spring/shock combo and wasnt really satisfied and then added ground control sleeves to get the drop I really wanted. All in all i told myself I'm not doing a spring/shock combo again. I want the adjustability you get with coilovers.

So I need some advice on whats a good coilover to buy. I just want to close up the wheel gap and maybe a slight tuck but I also want the ability to slam it for a weekend. The stock suspension rides good but the front could be a little stiffer. I dont really want anything thats softer than what I have now. I've been looking at KW just because I haven't heard anything bad and I dont want a cheap brand. If I'm gonna be driving a BMW I want to modify it with quality parts.
The KW Street Comfort has received all very positive reviews from people on this forum. Slightly stiffer linear springs with very good matching damping is the big attraction for me.
