Anyone installed M3 bits post KW v2's??

sootyvrs · 10-27-2009, 04:46 AM

Been reading a lot of positive things about the M3 parts e.g. wish bones, tension struts etc.... and how it handles so much better with the stock suspension.

My dilemma is that I'm really happy with the balance I have with the KW v2 set-up which I only use on the road and I'm wondering if the combination of the KW's with the M3 parts may upset the balance or really improve things?

I assume some may already have installed M3 parts with KW coilovers at the same time but I really want an isolated view on the effect if you have installed it after your coil-overs.

Any advice welcome.

Too much info out there makes me think this is a great mod. I plan to do the control arms and add some camber also (probably just by removing the "pin"). I notice even with just daily driving my front tires are wearing out much faster on the outside so a little camber will even out my wear as well as help with understeer.

Anybody else running KW V2's with Front M3 Control Arms?

I'm going to bite the bullet and get V2's but not for a few more months. I was looking at getting the E93 M3 Sway bar and the Front M3 Control arm kit in the meantime. Anybody running this setup?
