Getting a ride in someone's KW V3'd car?

GunKata · 05-22-2010, 04:28 PM

Does anyone live in the western burbs or nearby ( I also work in Glenview ), that I could catch a ride in a car with these? I almost put these on my STI before trading her in, but never got a chance to, and am considering getting them for the bimmer.

Thanks,
John

dang, slow down sir. you've barely had the car and you have more mods then me when i have it for almost two years now. maybe i just need to learn how to save up.

That would probably work. Are they pretty friendly for the street/daily driving?

haha, did you see my STI??!? this is how I roll, son!!

The trunk and E92 M3 19" rims have all been paid for by the sale of shit that came off the STI - rims, exhaust, return of V3's that were sent to me but had two right rear setups, etc., which is how the E92 has been funded so far.

and yes, its too bad those V3's went for so cheap at wsto, I would have grabbed them in a heartbeat.

the 335 is my DD, and yes, they are a nice balance between tight handling and comfort on the crappy chicago roads. I believe the V1's are set right in the middle (if they were adjustable). I originally ordered the V2 but due to a shipping/ordering error by the vendor I ended up with the V1 and they would not cover shipping to send the v1 back and the v2 out. I wish I would have stood my ground and gotten the v2 so I could adjust the dampening when necessary.

Interesting, I'd love to see what the differences are between the 3 versions for DD. I work right near the Abt building off 294 on milwaukee.

Awesome, yeah, maybe a meet sometime or meeting up WSTO would be cool. Thanks everyone for the input and feedback. I think down the line I want to get something to get rid of the bad front fender wheel gap. The rears look pretty darn good now with the 19's, but lots of gap up front still.

Did I mention I'm absolutely loving this car?!!?

ultimate · 05-23-2010, 11:31 PM

if your going with v1 or v3, be sure to pick up the xi one. different part #.

GunKata · 05-24-2010, 07:44 AM

yep yep, definitely aware of the same. thanks

oooOOOooo... sending PM now!

floot_roops · 05-26-2010, 10:03 PM

I've been considering V1's and was curious as well to see if anyone had the setup and would give me a ride. If you guys set up something and don't mind me crashing, can you shoot me a PM? (I'm Loop, so I'll come wherever)

GunKata · 05-26-2010, 10:36 PM

Nick and I live fairly close to eachother, but perhaps we can see if a meet is planned (by owners or one of the shops) and try to schedule that as a time to check out some other member's suspension.
