How low should i go? Kw v3
Getting my kw v3 kit next week! I saw another member went 1" lower all over, what do you guys suggest? I think 1" in the back and 1.25" in the front...
Thanks |

I went with 1" lower all around (have a curb on my driveway), else i would have gone lower in the front.
Take a look at Dan P's car (with motons). I like the way his car stance looks (1.5" front) |

yup happy with the suspension. drives great on the street/highway. It gets abit bumpy on rough surfaces. I'm running with the preset settings.
I will play around with settings on my next track day. |

KW's are also very soft and with more than 1" lowering the spring will have a tough time keeping itself off the bump cushion/secondary spring. |

I have STs (same as KWs but not stainless) and my front specs are L/R: 22 1/8" / 22" and I have about 3 inches of ground clearance up front with the 135i aero bumper. Assuming the 1M bumper gives similar stock ground clearance (a little less than the stock 135i m sport bumper), that's the lowest I'd go.. I already can barely make it into my own garage and I have to be careful on the street. It's not obnoxiously low, but I don't want to have to watch for every single little bump and expansion joint..
