You can play the system by using a VIN from an '05 with similar options; the weight of the car is the key to matching the springs.

Might as well just go for it. You know you aren't getting a terrible product, and that if it is broken/ installed wrong that you will be covered by warranty at your dealer. If you are doing the front brake kit you can probably get 15-20 min off your labor time which might save you a few bucks.

Yeah, I'm gettin' it . . .

Thanks to all, for the input. I'm probably really a Bimmer guy at heart, so I appreciate a certain amount of refinement. From what I have read, the JCW susp. seems to fit that bill perfectly.

Now, what about those JCW breaks? . . .
