V36 AWD Coilovers Finally Available - installed!
Moscow? mates? You're not Ruski are you? 
(my wife is, she never say "mates").
10k will work well for daily driving. From what i remember BC mentioning, if you track the car the 10k at full damper stiffness works just as well as the 12k at semi-full dampers.
I have the 12k, and originally set it to 15 clicks from hard -- man that was rough. It's now at 20 clicks (or 10 from soft) and feels so much better.
My 2c is, 10k is still sprung way more than OEM so it shouldn't matter as far as comfort goes, but you may sacrifice a little in performance.

That not true they do make them for the 07+ AWD sedan. The thing is you would have to contact the "right" person to get some help. when i got my box it said 07+ G35x on it
Correct. Please don't confuse Buddy Club for BC Racing (Bor-Chuann).
Need fast reply!
Guys so I can change the stiffness by rotating the little wheel on the strut any time?
Like a 5 sec job? Without taking of the coils away from the car everytime?
sorry for noob question and my bad English, hope u get what I ment!

The front, yes. For the rears, unless you find a way to route those extenders to the trunk or inside the cabin, the struts will have to come off for adjustment.
Remember, soft is "30" clicks, hard is "0" (counter-clockwise movement). BC recommends resetting to 0 and clicking up to soft from full-hard when making adjustments.

One more stupid question:
But when I was counting clicks - I found that I have 32 clicks not 30 like everyone! What could it be?
Guys, just an update for those interested. I raised my rears up this morning, on the 230mm springs i got it to 27" from the ground to fender line (or roughly 14.5" from fender line to center of hub) -- for me, this equates to roughly 3/4" of a drop for the rears, which is exactly where i wanted it to be!
Should be able to fix the rear alignment without a kit.

None with my 255/40/19s. I mean, i can fit my finger in there if i have to (due to negative camber) but the space between fender line and top of tire is non-existent -- it's level with each other, if that makes any sense.
