KW V4 Coilovers @ IND

IND, I’m considering the KW v4 coilovers, can you tell me how they feel vs stock, the stiffness, ride comfort, performance improvement, etc, etc.? I really want to make an informed choice but there are very few details on the v4’s for the F90. Thanks!!

If I may chime in, I drove IND car and it definitely fills stiffer, I would say about 20-30% ( mine estimate )
Drove it for just short time and to be honest I absolutely love it.
Reminds me on mine KW adjustable that I had in Germany. If I would have money I would definitely get it.
For some people long drives would be bothered with but for car enthusiast never is

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like a tight ride.

Everyone's perception and expectations of ride quality and noise/harshness are going to be different as sensitivities vary. Ride on the KW can also change dependent on damper compression/rebound settings.

Here are my thoughts on our F90. Have put just over 3200 miles on it now, mostly driven here in the Chicago area.

Stock EDC + OEM 19"
Comfortable, surprisingly compliant. No road noise or harshness over seams.

Stock EDC + OEM 20"
Still comfortable and compliant, some road noise, some harshness over seams.

KW V4 + OEM 20"
Lowered approx 1" front and rear, street alignment. More comfortable than stock EDC over bumps and seams without feeling floaty or bouncy. Sharper turn in and less body roll. Road noise stayed the same.
