It personally happened to me twice, and that is when I said I will never go with H&R again. Tirerack replaced the part for me both times free of charge, but still... On two seperate occassions I thought I broke my rear diff but thankfully it was the POS part on the coils. Both times, I was without a car for a few days... not worth the hassle. That is when I switched to KWv2 and never looked back. I have 0 bad to say about KWv2 they absolutely rocked. But since V2 is not available for the E9X M3 these may be something to consider.

That being said, I look forward to reading some reviews on these new coils for the E9X. I hope they fixed whatever issue they were having with these for the E46. I also hope the ride is somewhat comfortable. I know this is a performance setup but I dont need to bouncing all over the place.
100% agreed. I'm using the KWV3s and couldn't be happier.

If it rides anything like their e46 systems - we won't be installing them.
