Hello. Just as the title states, can you pls post pix of your 535i on KW v2's? If you can also give me some feedback on the height from lowest to highest? I ask cuz' I've seen PSS9's on the highest setting and it is SLAMMED - not what i'm looking for.

Based on KW's specs, they have a range of .9-2.1" front and rear.

i saw that too Nick, but i honestly need only .5 drop in the front....so i'm concerned as to what it'll look like on a 535. thus the request for actual pix.

Hey John, I think the bilstein ps10's can help you with the .5 drop...

Actually.. it might be .7... but definitely higher than the KW

unfortunately, i think the pss9's and 10's have the same height adjustability. i've personally have seen pss9's on a 535 and it was too low for my taste and it was on the highest setting possible.

Hmm.. oh, its .75 inches the highest setting for the pss9 and pss10's.

Ryan aka Knightcom has KW's on his 530i. I don't see any reason why the ride-height would any different than a 535i.
