KW suspension E87
Hey guys,
So i have decided to invest in some coilovers although im having trouble choosing which ones! Background: my BMW 130i E87 2006 is my daily driver and is currently equipped with the M-sport suspension. I would like a smoother suspension setup which can also be used for the track. Along with coilovers i will be purchasing spacers and camber plates. I have had a look at the KW V2, V3 and clubsport. As far as i know the clubsport comes with adjustable camber? Is there a large difference between the clubsport vs V2/V3, if i was to invest ~$3200 for the clubsport vs ~$1800 (V2), ~$450 (Vorshlag camber) = $2250 (V2 + camber). Keen to hear your guys thoughts on what i should do  |

I have seen on these forums more KW v2 than v3.
I think people that want v3, have many more options at that budget

as far as im aware the diff between v2 and v3 is the difference in shock tuning capabilities, IE compression and rebound. There is no camber control on either unit. For your application unless you need the additional shock tuning the v3 provides i would say go v2 with dinan top hats and pocket the extra cash.

I was thinking of getting the m3 parts as well, im not entirely sure if i should install those parts myself though. would it be an expensive job if i were to get a mechanic to install the front control arm, wishbones and bushings?
