Man this thread really has me thinking about the B12 kit. Knowing the factory struts go out around 60k, I was planning on going with the BMW PS. I want something firmer with a slight drop over stock but I absolutely do NOT want a stiff / jarring / slammed ride. My daily commute is 80 miles round trip through 3 states (NJ/NY/CT) so comfort and not bottoming out are key.

I had Koni and Eibachs on my previous car and even on the softer setting I found the ride to be a little unsettling on small uneven bumps. I also considered the FSD's but I don't care for the frequent rebuilds. Yes I know, I want my cake and want to devour it too.
