Getting my KW V2s installed right now so figured I'd share some before and after pics. The min drop for these are 1.6 inches for those wondering and I don't think I'll be dropping them lower than that. Note they will need to drop in so better "after" pics in a week or so.

is the v2 drop range same as v3?

According to KW all three variants are a min drop of 1.6 inches. At least that's what I've seen on their website.

See here. The v1 is the same thing. The difference is ride quality adjustment. I asked a couple of shops before buying and they all said V3 is if you plan on tracking the car all the time. For everyday driver and occasional track days the V2 are great. V1 is only if you want to adjust the drop.

Yeah like you - that's why I went rep for my front lip I give it a lifespan of about 12-16 months after that it goes in the trash and I slap a new one on.

ps- great choice on the coilovers! The Dinan springs are nice but what you've done is better - that 1.6 minimum drop is aggressive again anxiously waiting for the pics

This is the highest it can be. It's hard to determine the quality right now since it's so new and needs to set. In a week it should be set and then I'm doing the alignment. So far it feels just as comfortable as oem but going into corners the car doesn't shift as much which is really nice. I think when I do the alignment I'm going to firm it up a bit to see how it feels.

Had some KW's on my 335 and loved them. Looks awesome bet I'd def be worried about clearance where I live during the winter months (and potholes that seem to pop up randomly everywhere).

Let us know how they drive once they've settled!

Looks great - nicely done!

Looks good man. Now time for spacers or new wheels.

Any follow up pics? Your thread convinced me to order these ipso facto you kinda owe me ����

Jkjk, kinda curious on a (almost) 1 month review and feedback on these as well

Read on a few F30 threads that KW was shipping incorrect springs which caused the max height to be lower than designed. Wonder if this is the case here as that seems awfully low to be the "max height."

I havent personally owned a set of KW's. Have HR's on the wifex M40i and had YCW's on my E90 but Swift springs always seem to be the answer LOL

Probably wont install mine til I get the swift springs (if they even make them)

After a month I really enjoy them. The stock settings come at 9 clicks so I adjusted the front to 10 to try it out(rears are still on 9 since it's a PITA to get to to adjust). I definitely enjoy the former suspension. The ride still feels comfortable but much firmer and less roll going to high speed corners. I did feel the drop was aggressive and talking to BMWM340iTX, I decided to buy 30 MM spacers for the rear but don't have them installed just yet. I was waiting to get new set of wheels and tires and having it done then but I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on $4000 for new set wheels🥴

Thank you sir, looks good to me

I was worried a bit as a couple friend with KWs told me the ride is more “bouncy” than stock. Stiff I can live with, bounc houses are for children

Happy New Year

Your car always looks so so nice Musaabi. When I went with spacers on my dinan springs and stock wheels I ran 13m rear and 15m front (just for reference) - if I did it again I would do 15 front and rear. If you need help putting the spacers on swing on by the house and I will be happy to help you slap them on - we have all the tools

Happy New Year! Hoping 2021 brings an unlock for the 2021's in relatively short order

If you get the V3 you can adjust them a lot more. I haven't noticed bouncy but then again I haven't hit bumps at higher speeds yet....I'll give it a run and let you know how it turns out.
