Attn Guys with KWs. Can you post what KW settings you have done to achieve the drop you have. For exmaple. If you have v1s say v1, 22nd coil on the perch on the front and 25th on the back. I think this would save tons of time during install and dialing in the suspensions for members about to install a set, hint hint. It would provide a great starting point for future installs. Thoughts?

I'll try to find the sheet with the before and after height measurements, but until then...going off memory, I believe the front came down ~ 32mm and the rear ~25mm from stock.

The shop that did my install has done many BMW's and I just let them have it. So far so good... I get no rubbing, plenty of suspension travel to soak-up bumps in the road and great handling for street/canyon driving.

Jack, your car looks great, nice touches!
KW Suspension Variant 2 must be the most popular coil-over on the BMW 1 series.
