Keep it in stock form; engineers spent years getting the suspension dialed in!

Very true, but often compromises are made. In addition, vehicle regulations don't help either.

Does anyone know if KW Coilovers for F82 will fit on the F83?

From what I can see on the KW website the only difference is the Axle rating.

The F82 coilovers have an axle rating of -990 kg/-1170 kg
While the F83 have an axle rating of - 1050 kg/- 1250 kg

As this is only a few 100kg difference is it not the same as an F82 having a full car? So in theory the F82 coilovers could function on the F83?
