Divorced or full coilover

Is anyone running a full coilover on the rear of their F22 or only divorced suspension?

Divorced here, with the TC Kline Koni-motorsport based rear shocks being separated from the aftermarket springs.

I'm not into this very deeply for our cars, but I've seen that MCS appears to offer a true coilover product for the rear: https://www.motioncontrolsuspension....tions-pricing/.

I saw that -but it's full coilover for the F87 M2 / F80 M3 - would have to inquire if it would work on the F22.

For what its worth, both Drader (assumedly since he's had his much longer than I) and myself are running TCK's "F87" coilovers. Not sure if every F87 coil would be interchangeable with the F22 but ours are at least

Maybe we're looking at different things, pretty sure the link above lists a F22 full coilover: BMW F2X - F3X (Non M) Coil-over Rear.

Either way, yes, it exists -- I have it on my car. Anything specific you want to know about it?

BW are also good folks to talk to about things like this, here's one of the coilover options they sell:

I can attest to all of this, esp. using Bimmerworld as a resource.

There are benefits to running a true coilover rear, but will depend on what you are doing with your car. Street, street/track or track only. Spring rates and the rest of your setup can also determine whether a true coilover rear is needed or not. PM us with any question you may have. We have done dozens of true coilover or divorced setups.

Feel free to PM with any questions you may have.

Hadn't heard "divorced" used in reference to suspensions. I was thinking someone here had a wife who was demanding a full coilover setup on the car or she was hitting the road.

That'd be one popular gal around here.
