The MCS 4 ways have been installed. Yes its stiff, but its honestly not bad at all. I've driven it a handful of times on my work commute 25 miles each way and its been a joy to drive even with shitty CA roads.

I did a bunch of dialing of the shock settings so far for street I landed on this -

Front Rebound HS - 8
Front Rebond LS - 8

Front Compression HS - 9
Front Compression LS - 9

Rear Rebound HS - 8
Rear Rebound LS - 8

Rear Compression HS - 8
Rear Compression LS - 8

These are a bit different than what BW recommended. I figure once I get on track I'll likely turn these up.

Spring rates are -

6" - 800 # Front
8" - 1100 # Rear (divorced)

Also at the same time I installed -

Hotchkis sway bars set to full stiff up front and full soft out back to start
Solid rear subframe bushings
Front control arm bushings
Rear lower control arm bushings
Bimmerworld performance engine mounts (stock were already tearing @62k miles)

It is an amazingly drastic change from before. I had to completely re-adjust my expectations of what the car could do from the stock shocks and H&R race springs from before.
