Dialed In!! It took a few hours of trial and tribulations but shes ready. The rear height is between 26 5/8 and 27 . And firmness for the fronts are 4 from full soft or towards firm..The rears are like 7 from full firm

I went on a nice test drive on freeway off and on ramps, streets, bumps, dips , uneven pavement and driveways and they perform beautiful no rubbing scrapping NADA.

remember the rears are 295/30/19

PICS:

You definitely did it right by going with the KW coilover setup on the car. But it's true, it does look like you can definitely go lower! The KW coilovers will allow you to drop the car from 0.9-2.1 Inches up front and in the rear. Feel free to drop me a PM if you guys have any questions at all as we are running some killer deals on the entire KW suspension lineup for all you 5 series post guys !

Its going to stay at this height . Its a good daily driver height I will try to get the drivers side down a tad more. But thats about it. Its a 2-3 finger gap figure passengers and wheel travel anything less than that is pushing it.


Mod Bargains thanks for the compliments, please pimp products in Vendor Classifieds thats what its for.

Verrrrrrrry nice, the look.
Howe is the ride compared to the OEM suspension?
Although i would like to go lower, most of the roads (and there speedbumbs) in Belgium don't allow it.
You just convinced me to do the same, thanks!

Thanks,
I describe the ride silent but deadly lol. It rides smooth and your going along and a turn or sweeping turn comes up and BAM you take the turn and you look back and say WTF just happened HA HA HA

My car is actually higher than before I have a 2 finger gap on both sides minimum. And the sad part is these coils dont like to be set at min height specs they can do even better once you lower the car. I am still adjusting firmness.

oh yeah anyone who does this will need spacers to clear the struts in the front. I dont know why but you do. If your running a 8.5 front rim a 5mm should work. If your running 9 or 9.5 a 12mm spacer or greater is required. This is the only downside I guess, but you do get the widetrack look

FYI Do NOT buy 10mm they dont fit and will create vibrations
