Coming up on 25k on mine, still feel nice and tight, no clunks or anything to that effect. I wish I had recent pictures of how it has settled in nicely, but plenty of people have posted so I don't think it's that vital at this point. Still 100% happy with them, I consider them to be an excellent value for my own needs (Daily Driver, replacing worn stock suspension, and mild drop). Now I only wonder what color scheme they'll be on when I finally replace mine

Thanks for the update. I do not foresee any color changes anytime soon.

Just installed my second set (different car) today! This is all the way down in the front and rear, not settled in yet. New front and rear upper mounts. No spacers as my wheels have a different offset than standard e46 fitment. Style 162s staggered.

Just a reference to see how low you can go. At this point it is to low to drive, especially the rear. I can barely squeeze a flathead driver between the fender and tire. I'm not interested in fender rolling. Fronts are fine. But to clear the rears better I'm going up at least a half inch. If measurements are correct I got a 2" drop all around, before settling. Measured from fender lip to ground.

Hey StatureSteez, what are the specs on those rims and do you have spacers? Like the stance :thumbsup:

So I would like an explanation as to why these are ~400$ but other entry level applications can run ~1300$, they're has to be a difference in material cost somewhere... will these rust? not last as long? break if you hit a big pothole? or are more pricey versions built for racing and not just street use?
Forgive my ignorance but I'm just curious.

While probably only Kris could answer the question on price, I can attest to their performance so far. I live in Hawaii (so that means salt air all, day everyday) and they have not shown any signs of rust. It had one spray down of a marine grade corrosion block upon install and that was it. I've had mine for over 2 years and they still perform like new. The rear had to be adjusted about a year ago though as the spring had settled quite a bit. Our roads here are nowhere near smooth so yes, they can handle potholes very well. In Hawaii you not only have to worry about crater sized potholes but giant bumps and cliffs that seem to appear right in front of you. I have used them in an autocross or two and they do get pretty soft at the end of the day so they are best kept on the street.

Longevity.

The valving used inside them is more "budget" friendly, to put it one way.



If they last 50k miles, you got your money's worth.
Its a new product though, so nobody has reached this mark yet.

When comparing suspensions you get what you pay for plain and simple.

Think of it this way, if you want Pirelli or Michelin you don't go to your local gas station.

I am editing this post to tell every one that i helped a friend remove these from his bmw this weekend. The rear shocks were totally
dead, he had them for 27 months and put 25,600 miles on them. these coilovers are junk.

We have a few lurkers who 50k+ on their kits.

Street Edge kits are not designed for racing or autocrossing. They are simply designed for a lower stance and enhanced performance on your daily driver.

The quality of the Street Edge materials are similar of kits that cost much much more.

Will the kit rust? I doubt it but there is a chance since it is galvanized steel. There is a protective coating to prevent rust. If you are in an area of high snow levels and drive the car I would recommend a stainless steel body much like the KW coilovers.

not last as long? If you beat the hell out of the kit I doubt you will see much life from the kit or any kit for that matter. If the kit is properly maintained it can last many many years/miles.

break if you hit a big pothole? Unless the rod of the coilover is at an extreme angle this should never be a problem. With proper installation this can be avoid and/or prevented.

or are more pricey versions built for racing and not just street use? Kits like KW for example come with different features. Like stainless housing, limited lifetime warranty, technology within the coilover that you won't find in lower budget coilovers. I have personally used KWs on my E60, I enjoyed the kit very much. The car was handed down to my brother who knows nothing about cars, he didn't even think it had aftermarket suspension on it. Now my mom has the car who wouldn't trade the ride quality for anything! In short, we aren't always comparing apples to apples.

The product has now been available for just over 3 years. We have a few guys from the forum with 50k+ miles.

Each person will have a different opinion on ride quality. Compared to a factory suspension this kit will be an improvement. Compared to a ST or higher priced kit it won't be as good.
