LOL. Pics are here now!

Yeah, it is stiffer than stock, and the dampening is alot more controlled. The car rides the way it should stock from the factory, which makes me believe that BMW is trying to make the 1 series a clear lower performing car from a 3 series. Sad because they could probably sell alot more 1s to Audi A3 owners and MINI Clubman people.

Here is some info from KW's website.

State-of-the-art technology from motor sports for more performance on the road. The separate and independently adjustable rebound- and compression damping allows individual suspension adjustments.
