How low do you ride on the KW v2?

remmib · 03-24-2007, 12:33 PM

I know that there are alot of people here that rides on KW coilovers. I have bougth the KW v2 for my e90, and I will have them installed in some time.

I just wonder how low have you guys set the springs, and have you lowered the front more than the rear or vice versa.

Thanks

I have the KW V2 and I have 28 perches in front and I'm at midpoint in the rear. On 19s with no finger gap at all. I can go a lot lower, but it would rub.

Hey, where are all the guys how ride on KW

Here is how low the front was, this was with 8 threads from the bottom. And if someone doesn't know what I mean by threads...it's the 'lines' on the coilover that you can move up and down.

Of course at this height, it rubbed badly.

And this is how the car looks now with 28 threads in front and at half point in the rear.
