BlackOnBlack - SLAMMED! KWv2 Coilovers. Mini Photoshoot.

BlackOnBlack · Tue, Mar-10-2009, 08:30:35 AM

Coilovers. WOW, just wow.

I finally pulled the trigger on a set of KWv2 Coilovers.

After much research, coilovers are the way to go, seriously.

To all the people who are contemplating coilovers, JUST DO IT. I can say that it is by far my favorite mod that I have done to my M. It is a world of a difference, looks and performance wise.

After the Eibach Pro-Kit, I promised myself I would only upgrade to coilovers after. Even though it was VERY tempting to just spend a few hundred on another set of springs, such as Vogtland, it was WAY worth it. Saving up for a set of these bad boys is the best thing to do, period.

Springs + Shocks will suffice but for a few hundred more dollars, you can get a set of coilovers and call it a year!

The car feels MUCH better overall. The ride quality is extremely comfortable. I have it set on 7/20 soft dampening all around and I think it's perfect. Even though not best for handling, I like the slammed look for now.

The install was done by Toan (forum member Tonester). A+ to all of his work. He has been so nice and cooperative throughout the whole install, so I would like to thank him for that. Very nice, honest guy. Highly recommended!

Tell me what you guys think. Enjoy!

Don't forget to have it corner balanced and aligned to get the best out of your new suspension.
