thanks man

im glad you arent having any issues, though i know a good amount of people that have had the same complaints as me and were given the same responses by KW which is really odd and frustrating

both cars were pretty low. the front and rears were tucked... i've even tracked the m5 but i guess i was one of the lucky ones. I'm sure the JIC/Cross coil overs are a great product. Hopefully i'll be able to try them out someday

how did you get them to even tuck? i maxed out at 2 inches which was flush, not tucked at all

dude if you buy them youll keep them and sell your v3's to C's bimmer....hes been twirling around trying to get them for a while now

I'll post pics tomorrow. I guess when I say tucked the top portion of the tires are slightly under my fender line.
I'm running 285/30/20 rear tires and 255/35/20 front tires.

Same here. I have mine for about a year/15K miles with no problems, very happy with KW v2.

I am curious as to how many members with KW V2's have sound/noise issues...there are a good number of members running KW's and rarely have I read complaints about noise/sounds I wonder if it depends on the setting of the KW's. The lower the setting the more noise perhaps
