Andrew,

So you finally got them. Great!

Good luck in your pursuit of M5 handling. Tell us how they ride.

I think TOMS Advox isn't as sporty as TEIN HA and HKS coilovers. If you target your GS to be a race car, TEIN HA is a better option. TOMS is stiffer than CS but softer than HA.... I think.

Definitely try out a set of HA's before you buy. I have found them to be too stiff for daily driving...may be ok if you're running stock tires though...

Hopefully, I can give a review of the FLEX by next week (I want to drive on them a little bit before I say anything)...little bit stiffer than the CS but WAY more adjustable in terms of height and shock travel...

Andrew, if the setup is working for you, just leave it. Now I'm the type person that would change it (and I'm really thinking about it) but I haven't done it yet...only because I know I'll need to buy a new trunk liner (since the holes won't match up...)

And it was REAL ****** getting those holes "just right"...
