ACS springs with EDC long term reviews

Just curious all of you who have had ACS springs installed with EDC could give any long term reviews of the setup. Such as have you had any issues with the EDC shocks? Premature wear and so forth. Thanks in advanced. The ride height is just killing me with the body roll.

I have about 20k kms (12k miles) on my ACS springs with EDC on my F10 and have not had any issues with the shocks and other suspension parts. My car was just inspected two days ago and no problems were found.

i've had mine from 18k miles to now (36k miles) and no issues....i have a 2014 550i with EDC...also installed dinan shockware recently....haven't seen any un even tire wear or other issues...

I did have the alignment done to factory spec...my shop gave me 2 options...1 for tire wear (factor specs) another one for handling performance...so i went with option 1...

Is there any coding or calibration required to fully optimized the shock with the lowering springs?
Technically speaking, the 'resting' position of the shock has changed/compressed and maybe the VDC module needs to learn the new resting position for best results.

Might be that Dinan Shockware SW takes care of that.. but I've had Dinan springs and bump stops and dinar shockware for about 12k miles, no issues with tire ware knock on wood. I followed the Dinan recommended Alignment specs.
