My Ride: 2006 530xi (Titanium Grey/ Black interior) Debaged, L.e.d. light upgrade throughout. ACS roof spoiler. H&R sport sprigs, Angel eye upgrade, euro sticker, ,matte black grills.
What would you say is the rating of the kw's on your car? 1 to 10 . 10 being the closet to stock feel. (New Stock) I am trying to see how good they are and if they are worth the money..I had Kw's on a euro'd Jetta before and it was really stiff. Just don't want to be disappointed when i install, You know..

Which KW's did you have? V3's are adjustable, but I'm like you, it would be nice to be sure before you spend that kind of $$$

Yes, it is. Might be as well to trade for something with a sport suspension and bite the bullet on the trade-in loss....(in my case).

My Ride: 2012 550i Space Gray M Sport
That is pretty much what I settled on. After speaking to a bunch of the car techs in my area they ALL advised to stay away from dropping my ride. I have sports suspension so I will be happy with that. Im gonna drop a 12" in the trunk soon so that will help lower a little more and maybe I will keep some bricks in the other seats lol

I have the V2's on my 545i.
I was scepticle at first. Would the V2's be to stiff? How bad is the ride comfort going to be? How aggresive is my car going to respond to daily driving in cty / hwy?
Well......
I'm very happy with the ride quality, from a stock point of view, it's spot on as far as comfort.
It's very responsive, the V2's have some great adjustments you can tweak.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to PM me if you have any follow up questions.
I'm not a vendor, I'm just a regular day to day driver.
