My price range is around the $1200 ball park. Ohlins would be too pricey for what I am looking for.

I've been checking the E90post sale forums lately and honestly the only brand that ever pops up are KW's & ST Speed Tech coils. Which also happen to be under the same company.

How much more are the spring rates for the E90/92 spec coils vs. the E82 1-series ones.

I looked at the thread on e90post and I see the rates here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=235797

Lastly, since I'm looking on the used market. How long do coils generally last?
