How low should I drop?

BMW! · 08-31-2008, 12:19 PM

Guys I need help on how low I should drop on the KW-V1, I have not yet installed it My major problem is when I go down the drive way into the complex garage, sometime I would scrap the center of the body when I go down depends on the way I go down. I have the Stock OEM 17 wheels with Stock Tires + sport suspension right now, If I put 19" wheels with 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 tires + my KW-V1, I need to know how much to drop Front & Rear to make the height of my car the same as stock (maybe a little lower in the front) Thanks for the help.

There is no 'math'. We don't know what the driveways around your area look like and what your driving habits are like. If you're already scraping at stock height, I wouldn't drop much.

It's one of those driveway that has an angle where can scrap your panel. I would need to go into the garage with a certain angel w/o being scraped.

I have stopped at the driveway today and measured the length between the ground and my under panel: 1 inch ONLY! Means after the KW-V1 my car can't be lower than my stock height... Help pls!

just get your driveway flattened and drop it how much ever you want.
