KW Coilover questions.

erick · 06-01-2012, 11:51 PM

Hi guys,
I just recently bought a 2012 AW M package 520i and would like to drop this baby. I've search for the KW coilovers and find that they have many options available for F10. V1, v2, v3, and street comfort. What are differences and which option are best to go with? Thanks

V1 is only height adjustable, V2 is height + rebound adjustable and V3 is height + rebound +compression adjustable.
Street comfort is height and rebound adjustable, this can be lowered less than the others and are the most comfortable.

The V2 would be the best street option. It allows you to lower your car aggressively while allowing you to adjust the comfort level. V3 is nice if you know what you're adjusting and plan to track your car. V1 is risky, you may hate the ride out of the box and there's no way to adjust the rebound. However, I heard nothing but good things with all 3 options. You just can't go wrong with KW, it's high end stuff and made to last.
