Hi All,
Has anyone ever installed/tested ECS Performance Adjustable Coilover System?

I'd love to lower the car a bit and don't like the idea of just doing the springs to lower the car.
KW V3, is just way out of my budget and if I ever want to spend that much, I'll change them to M5 suspension parts.
I just noticed this on the ECS Tuning website today.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

Bring this back up

Honestly, at that price point, I would pass. I wouldn't be surprised if the factory dampers outperform them.

Why are you ruling out lowering springs? With a moderate drop (assuming that's what you want) the factory shocks perform just fine. If you are concerned about shock travel, get yourself the Dinan bump stop kit too.

I don’t know. Ive been reading a tone of different takes on springs. MSS apparently is the one that’s good but man they’re expensive!
My car’s now raised because of the 7 series wheels and it’s just bothering me. It has to drop a bit.
I thought Dinan only has for m550i with DHP though!

You're right on the Dinan front - they are only for M550s, my apologies.

I still think springs are a better solution for you though, unless you go with a more reputable coilover brand.

I just purchased my 540i last week and i’m currently looking at the H&R Sport Springs. Has almost a 2” drop in the rear and 1.5” in the front also coming in under $500! They actually have them on ECS Tuning for a little over $300.
