I think the coilover set i got are for a RWD 
.... on the factory front strut it has a little bracket on it, where the sway bar linkage connect to and i don't see it on the KW front strut. Can anyone confirm this with a RWD Wagon??

The suspension is no big deal to diy with proper tools, but now i'm really worried with your final result.... All BMW are rwd except the ones that have a X letter in the badge that are awd.

Any one know of some Sway bars/Anti roll bars for the AWD E61's?
The stock sport ones are not stiff enough for me compared to the ARS in the non AWD cars.

If we think that one drives mostly on highways, so is it just the same to get KW Street Comfort or Variant 2 and not 3 and
do they all come with adjusting rod for the rear?
Which adjustments are you using for compression and rebound?

Kw var.2 doesn`t have shock absorbers in the rear. So you?ll have coilovers in the front and a original set on the rear. :thumbsdown:
OK. Then I can forget the KW Var. 2.

Probably a bit late but I think this should say the coilover packages don't come with rear springs; they all use the factory air spring.
