Do the KWs also mean you can set up the suspension to prevent it from rubbing when you go over dips in the road etc?
Or did you simply slam it for these pictures and then normally have it a little higher for everyday driving?
(I just can't imaging driving a car that low with our rubbing the wheels against the arches every few meters!)

I drive here like the set-up on the photo's

No rubbing at all against the bodywork.

Although I personally will try to stick to a "less sporty" look on my car.

A little bit too low for my taste, but don't get me wrong... the car looks great as always!

Are you running negative camber on it at the moment to get it that low? Or is that just my eyes playing tricks on me

Damn, that is low. I could not drive my E61 here, if it was that low to the ground! Still, it looks sick!

EDIT: I could NOT drive my car into my garage if it was that low!
