Damned if I can figure this YCW setup out. Here's what I'm thinking out getting. And it seems prices have increased since the special prices on here and on eBay. Driven5 has given provided some advise

FITMENT: BMW E8X/E9X (Non-M)
MOUNTS: Vulcanized rubber ($0.00)
BEARING TYPE: Standard ($0.00)
MAIN SPRINGS: Swift Linear (60mm ID) ($200.00)
HELPER SPRINGS: None ($0.00)
DAMPING: Simutaneous ($0.00)
VALVING: Aeris ($0.00)
DIMENSIONS: default
TYPE: Assembled ($200.00)

Advise I need is:
- will default dimensions give me enough travel for 1" lowering from Msport
- comments on top mounts (I picked camber plates with vulcanized rubber)
- Spring rates of 6KG / 14KG (was told by YCW and Driven5 that I should go to 6KG so no customization is needed)
- picked 60mm springs mainly for front wheel clearance (235/40x18 40mm offset) but was told that 60mm has less travel. Should I go with 65mm? My fenders are rolled as I guess spacers will work if there are clearance issues.

My 135i is a DD and I don't want it overly stiff. I'm currently using BMW PS (2.9Kg F / 7.5Kg R) with Bilstein B8. It's a great setup for the street but a little soft in the front for track use.

Thanks for your advice.
