Looks damn nice.
Did you buy the black rims new, or did you paint the original ones? And what i'd really like to know is, how is the ride with the kw suspension? Is it a big difference, especially on bumpy roads? thanks |

The rims are the original onces painted in sparkeling graphite gray. With the current bump and rebound setup its as comfortable as the original suspension. For all day perfect. The setup for a racetrack can easiely be adjusted. Takes 15 min to close the rebound a bit which makes it noticeable harder.....less side movement of the car.

@rldzhao@M-World: thx
@frankcos: the front is 3cm and the back 1cm lower. Its still possible to lower it more as i did @amber: What do you mean the amber delete? Do you mean the angel eyes? They are not switched on. But they are replaced I ordered this one http://www.blauertacho4u.de/products...E82-ab-08.html

Thinking put the V3 below mine as well. In the softer setup you are driving, it is less bouncy then the original suspension? Can you share your experience in feeling stock compared V3. Thanks |

You can set it up between extremly soft like riding a camel and intervertebral disks killer. . You will for sure find a setup which fits for you. My setup is more comfortable like the original but not as bumpy as the original.
