SHAHZ Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 So your saying I could do but it's not essential? For the sake of a few quid probably better to do so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Units the use a "crimp" type of lock nut come with replacements so that's your guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm surprised you're going for coilovers with the amount of miles you do, wouldn't you prefer softer suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Im going for the ones that have the adjustable dampers so can have the best of both Was meant to have done this last year, but with so much going on, I never really got to do anything with the car.... I even run winter tyres right the way through summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAHZ Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 ok so the description for the BCs state "due to OE design, this kit uses a separate non coilover rear spring and damper assembly" http://www.corbymotorsport.com/e60-c-1_205_14_86_325_332/bmw-e60-not-m5-0409-bc-coilover-kit-br-p-934.html What exactly does that mean?

Tony Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 The coil is not fixed over the damper but is still height adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Ok so all should still be compatable and ok to fit? I still don't get it as it says due oe design.... oe design had a coil over the damper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I see..... The ad's text relates to the M5, yours would be the coilovers in the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Nope, add states non M5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Well you cannot have an independent coil/ oil confederation because the coil won't have a platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
