I did not have to roll the fenders, if you feel under the lips of the fenders you will see there really isn't much there to roll. I was also told the metal is very soft and run into the risk of damaging the fender.

The wheels are holding up great and will be for sale in the near future! Barley any miles on them. Still in perfect condition.

Any suspension modification requires an alignment immediately or else improper wear and tear on your tires! Grumpy514 how is the ride since u had them installed?

Do you HAVE to? No. But I highly recommend doing so to save your expensive tires from improper wear. The car will be able to be driven but much better when its properly aligned.

I absolutely love it! It really woke the car up and made everything much tighter when driving. Never looked back!

I am leaning towards getting these as well, my buddy at Trinity Autosport sells them. Thanks for the write up, I know they have been around a while but I haven't seen an F10 write up yet. Did you keep the springs they come with, or did you go for the Swift springs combo?

They were an amazing set of coilovers the time I had to use them, made the car feel much sportier than stock suspension. I went with the springs they came with, complete kit. I will post some pictures here in the next few days of what they look like now, practically still brand new.

I have them on my new GT (testing and developing a set for the F07 with CKS) and I absolutely love them. Coming from someone who really enjoyed the H&R setup before, the coilovers are worlds apart. They ride so much better, very close to stock, but the handling is superb. My 7-Series based GT feels as small around corners now as my friend's new C63-S AMG that I had the keys to for a few days, and that's a ballsy statement. CKS is phenomenal.

Camber is not adjustable unless you get aftermarket control arms. Alignment came out good however.

CKS Coilovers are currently for sale!

Yes. These cars do not come with camber adjustments from the factory.
