I've had my KW V2s for about a year now and they're great. I personally don't feel that they're too stiff and besides, you can adjust the shocks to your preference. Freed0m also has the same set up as me and I believe he's also very happy with his setup as well.

I actually got lucky and got it brand new from this guy for about $1300. I hadn't thought about using coilovers at that point but it was too good of a deal to pass up.

coilovers are adjustable. regular suspensions are not adjustable.

Do the coilover V2/V3 systems work on xi cars? I'm looking at the KW website, and it simply states E60, doesn't mention for non xi's only.

Hi,

I've had my KW V2s for about 10 months now and very happy with them!



Paid about 1.500 euros for them

Cheers
Danny
