been so busy with MFest prep, i haven't had a chance to show off my new drop. i was always hesitant on lowering her due to the reduced ride quality and comfort, but i must tell you these KW's are f'd awesome! the ride is as close to stock, but at the same time feelin' how tight the turns are. sits perfectly with no rubbing or bottoming out whatsoever!

first and foremost, a big THANKS goes out to Drew and Gravity Auto for their partnership in getting my suspension taken care of. great customer servce, but more importantly very aggressively competitive with pricing. Pls contact Drew directly for any of your e60 needs - from wheels to OEM BMW parts.

I knew you would love the KW's. The back could use another quarter inch drop and like an eighth in the front.
