KW V2 Input
Hi Guys,
I'm waiting on a set of used KW V2's to be delivered. They have less than a year of use and I want to get input and reviews from you guys.
Any installation tips or things to look out for.
I have a 530 with OEM 166 M wheels BUT all 4 wheels are front 8.5 ET 12 squared setup with 245/40/19 tires all around.
I've read a few reviews about creaking and clunking noise.
It's very weird because many people rate these so highly but I've actually read mostly negative things about them.
I'm really thinking it's because we are all quicker to post if we come across an issue
Please guys any reviews or input will be greatly appreciated.

Great choice of CO's. I've been running my set of V2's for the last 2.5 years with about 60k miles on them. The clunking issue is usually due to the top hat nut not being tightened to TQ specs. Also just make sure they put the washer on the strut before the top hat or you'll blow through the top hat.
