hey im still pretty new to this forum. I have a 530i with 80k on it, so im guessing suspension is no where near out of factory condition. I know poeple say KW are awesome and I have looked into getting the KW v2s. Anyone in the tristate has Ksports or KWs? How is the ride quality under our road conditions? How harsh are they? because Ksport have pretty good reviews and mike from acute performance has them in stock. Thanks guys!

I have the ksports and I love them.... I have them all the way stiff and it feels better than my stock to be honest... My only problem is my car is slammed and I pay for that from time to time.. but they Def get my .... on the other hand I am thinking about selling them and try the KW's just for the hell of it so i can compare them myself...but if its not broken why change it?? thats the reason i havent changed them, cause im happy with what I have...

um coming from someone who lives jersey and has the ksports there awesome i adjust them to half way when driving around normally so they aren't so harsh and stiffen em up to about one click away from all the way up in the front and 3 clicks away from all the way stiff in the rear when i race the car at the local autox events

sounds good so far! any of you guys ridden in a car with KWs before? I know we get what we pay for, but unfortunately can't help but wonder if its comparable... right now i have stock non sports suspension with 172 rims.
