Default Spring and Shock Install D.I.Y.
any of you vert owner install your own kit the rear shocks are pretty hard to mount i have the rouge rsm and were very hard to get in place took me 3.5hrs to install the shocks and springs last night finished at 3 am last night. but i love the way it rides, it rides way smoother than stock and i feel less body roll with this setup. thanks all of you that helped choose my setup LOVE IT>

congrats. you'll be three times faster next time you do suspension work on your car.

any reason why u went with spring+shocks rather than a coilover?

Considering the known weakness of BMW RSM's - I think using coilover's is looking for trouble, and unless you're actually going to adjust them, it's all bling.
