They can be fine but I have heard that some cars fitted with coil overs have started to crack the supension turrets on the rear!!!!!

BMW state that you shouldn't use rear coilovers without a cage that triangulates to the rear turrets. That info from thorny motorsport.

Not all aftermarket suspension is full coilover setup though. The KW Variant 3 has coilovers on the front (no problems) and separate spring / damper on the rear like the standard OEM setup. This avoids the problems associated with the full coilover setup.

leda - dunno if it has rear coilovers though. KW3 is fine - in fact if you can find a car with that go for it!
