kwv2's are what u want!!! there not your typical coilover that clicks metal to metal alot!! the adjustment of the height actually adjusts the tension of the spring unlike most higher end coilover with camber plate!(TEIN)
these things are awesome there custom adjustable shocks u can adjust the dampening as well which ive found on my settings to be really soft and makes the car ride like oem sport yet im 4"in lower!!. If you can afford it bud get em you will not regret it!

As long as you dont dump it and take the driveway at an angle, you should be ok. Granted i havent seen your driveway.

if youve done alot of reasearch why are u going with normal offsets?
and why would u immediatly plan for a spacer?? u should buy wheels with the right offset with the look your going for IMO!! ive had the same setup before ive experimented with alot of diffrent setups and will be doing more this next week
Here i a pic of my first E90!!
check out my garage ull see lots more pics

the m6 rep dont come with a 30 offset in a rear, its comes in 20 and 40, so im going with the 40 and getting a 10mm spacer

im planning to doa 1.7 inch drop in front and 1.4 inch drop in rear with the kw v2 and 19 inch m6 reps, planning to get the vishnu xede chip, but i keep hearing from other forum members saying, that it might cuz engine problems, since the turbo's are too small, im thinking about as wekk

Well, you've got the KWV2's, you're set. NOTHING better on the market, IMO.

As far as offsets, I don't recommend spacers. Try to find a better offset wheel. Just because the BRAND of M6 rep you want doesn't come in et30, that doesn't mean that there isn't one that does.

Also, hit me up when you're ready to install those KW's, maybe I can help you out.

with kw v2 on my 07 bm e92 coupe, i should be fine with 38 offset in front and a 30 offset in the rear? cuz riceburner has 19 inch bbs ch wheels with a 20 offset in the rear, and he rubs, and avaznaii had a 23 offset in the rear and her rubbed, so he went with smaller tires, i just want to go with the recommended size tires for the 19 inch m6 rep, and i decided to go with toyo t1r, so basically what you got think i should be fine with no rubbing with a 30 offset in the rear?

Riceburner had a et20 rear. That's 10mm difference, or almost 1/2 an inch. YES, 1/2 an inch will make you rub.

I think you'll be GREAT with 30's. I could be wrong, maybe you should check in the wheels/tires forum and see what ppl have been putting on their lowered E92's.

I have the KW V2's in my 335 coupe. They are with out a doubt the best on the market IMO. I am also running 20 inch rims. 235/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rears. Fronts have an offset of 35 and rear 33. At first I rubbed in the rear, rolled fenders and shaved wheels 2mm and I am fine! Great ride awesome handling.

So in effect you are now running a 20" rim with a 35 offset?
