My Ride: 2008 528xi Stock for the moment!!
Default

I could not take the ride of the H&R springs with the factory shocks on my 2008 528xi.I broke open the piggy bank and coughed up some dough for the KW-V3's. Let me tell you it was worth every cent!!!! The ride is 100% better and I am not cringing every time I go over a bump...... Here are some pics.

Hey, that's a great looking car. Perfect drop. Looks low and sleek and very clean and not too "slammed". Love it. Rear diffuser is very nice as well. Was going to go with the KWv3 on my M5 but decided last minute to go CKS with SWIFT springs because of the rumored ride quality. Mine get here Tues and I am hoping I am as satisfied as you and not sorry I did not get the KWs. Nice job!

I have the H&R and ever since i drove on my friends KW v3, I have beeen longing to do that.

Seriously,
Springs are trash when compared to KW's. Well. . . you get what you par for.
