KW VS BILSTEIN

[J4CK05EE30]

Anyone on here using kw suspension or springs...

Reason being im in the middle of trying to buy suspenion for my car, and so far was going to get bilstein b8s with eibach spring but they do not do springs lower than 40mm...

so im looking to get KW springs to go with the bilsteins, or just get the KW spring and shocks set up...

so im looking for anyone who has any feedback on KW shockk or springs..

they do not do springs lower than 40mm...

Which should tell you something!

no one using kw's?

no other info ?

kw's are fine in the 40 mm drop but you have been given the best advice which is don't drop by more than 40mm if you actually want to improve the car.

one of my cars is wearing KW shocks and springs and has done for 10 years or so, they were fitted by Birds of Uxbridge,
it handles very well and the KW stuff seems up to the job, sadly they are a vile purple colour which almost makes me puke when i look underneath

Had a full KW kit on my 318iS (-55 / -35). Handled lovely, didn't sit crazy low but thats not a bad thing.

thanks topless, just want to know is the ride, smooth, stiff or soft, would you say they are better or same level as the bilstein b8s...

the reason im asking is because, im in abit of a dilemma, being, whether to buy the bilsteins b8s and then buy the kw springs seperately (would get the eibachs but they only go upto 40mm) and im after just slightly lower ie: 50mm, or just get the kw shocks and springs together....
