Cool

This past Thursday I had new KW V2s installed at EuroRev and I've been meaning to leave them a great review since then but I've been too busy breaking them in to spend any extra time on my computer.

Vince, James and the whole EuroRev crew were awesome, took great care of me and made sure that everything was sorted out before I picked the car up. They offered me as many adjustments as I wanted after the install but the ride was just about perfect on the first try. We brought the ride-height up about 1.5 inches which still gives the car a nice lowered look but then handling is 100X better.

Due to alignment and camber issues with my previous suspension setup (stock sport shocks and Eibach Sportline springs - I do not recommend for 20's) my rear tires were in worse shape than I thought. Since I couldn't make it into the shop again that week they went out of their way to pick up a new set of Nexen n3000 rears for me and had them installed and balanced while I waited for some sun-damaged moulding to be replaced (the contractor window repair guy screwed it up but EuroRev has offered to fix it for me no-charge out of their pocket, I am extremely grateful for their honest business practices).

All in all, a great experience and my 04 545i is handling better than ever, finally exactly how I wanted it to when I first bought it. I am loving the confident handeling of the KW V2s and the fact that I don't have to clench my teeth ever time I see a bump in the road.

Thanks again to John aka MacFly for recommending EuroRev and helping me sort out the best solution to my wheel rub and helping me solve this issue without ditching the 20' Hamann PG3s.

To say the least, I am ecstatic and will be returning to EuroRev next week to get some more minor work done.

Okay time to go for another ride

if you're still rubbing just have EuroRev tighten up the suspension and or roll the fenders.

I don't like to roll fenders either, but you gotta give some to get some haha. If you want to slam your ride and not bend a rear quarter panel or front fender, its a better idea to roll. I've bent my front fender on my s2k going up a driveway and turning the wheel too soon.....I know rookie move....haha
