How did it feel on the freeway?

this is the reason i went with kw street comfort instead.. my kws ride like stock.
we all know ALL lowered ride improves handling and corners... but i dont think i can live with a little bit of stiffness on the ride. but i guess thats to each their own . but would love to hear more feedback after they settle in!

aspxguru,

i see your running 20x9.5 - 255/30/20. any problems with inner clearance after the drop?

Just curious but how low are you riding?

KWs FTW!

But I have to admit, Ksports are probably the best bang for your buck coilovers you can get for the E60.

Currently its fine. I was experimenting with lowering it further but the inside of the tire would hit the strut if i lower it any further. I want to put a wider tire on the front but my current setup will not allow it. I think i may do it if i get M5 fenders and put a spacer on the front. But thats for later. Its fine for now.


I bought the KSports purely based on price and others having good reviews. Im sure they could ride more like stock if some softer springs could be obtained but now that I have moved them to the softest setting they are very livable. I think mainly its the spring rate that makes them so stiff. Im sure if you crank the adjusters up it doesnt help matters but i feel like the stiffness of the springs could do with about 25% less stiffness.

Michael, is that a possibility to get slightly softer springs?

Yes custom spring rates are available. Extra cost of $75. I'm very surprised you're on the softest setting and still want softer. What was your OE suspension and what did you think of that?

I had the OE sport suspension. I thought the ride on that was about perfect. Im not saying the ride is bad its just much stiffer than before. Im not gonna make any hasty judgements. I want to give it some time and see how it settles in. I also want to go get it aligned first as well. Im rally glad there are other springs available though.

You liking your KWs Ross?

i dont really see why you'd want the ride to be softer...
i guess i like sportier handling of the Ksports more than most.
