KW v2 vs. v3 thread:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...&highlight=v3s

See Sam's Post:

KW uses the same springs for all the Variants

With each Variant that you increase, there is more adjustability so you can make it ride like the previous Variant

Variant 3 is for precise suspension set-ups allowing adjustability of dampening plus rebound.

Variant 2 has a pre-determined rebound with adjustability of dampening.

$240 more than the KW V2's.

KW V2 group buy prices are around $1600. I think you already know how much a good discount would be on them.

The cost of getting the LMs/Tires/KW V2s all at once was a bit intimidating. Keep in mind I placed the order for these before I left to Europe and actually drove my car.

Thanks for the info john...
I'll give my buddy a call and see what the rates are on the v3's. if it's only a $240 difference i might spring for 'em.

Damn, that rear sway install is no joke. wow.

snohman · 08-09-2007, 07:42 PM

Andy, when you movin' back up?

!Xoible · 08-09-2007, 07:42 PM

I'm just impatient and wanted to have them all put on the day or day after I got the car. Unfortunately the BBS LMs were delayed.

OC Guy · 08-09-2007, 07:48 PM

Oh yeah, when deciding on mods, I noticed the JLevi SW site was a real good point of reference.

For ex: KW Suspension
http://jlevistreetwerks.com/store/m6...317fc8592822cf

They have pictures and everything.

im planning on placing orders once i hear from the dealer. i'd want the wheels on the day of delivery. im not taking the car home without new wheels.
I probably need advice on wheels. i was thinking M6 reps, or CSL reps, but since everyone seems to have them i want something else now. I want to do the tint on same or next day too.
i'll get painted corners (the ugly orange thing) then angel eyes, then i'll get procede later. that's not a rush

snohman · 08-09-2007, 07:49 PM

I think John and I have a lot in common...
ED, had a bunch of parts ordered before the ED

I'm just lazier haha

Thanks for the help John.
Yeah I agree with vendors being on here, not posting prices is the way to go

Acutally could you PM me or IM me the pricing you get on the V2's and V3's?

CSL reps man ... those are classy and hawt ... other people might have them, but as long as you love the look on your car go for it man ...

OC Guy · 08-09-2007, 07:52 PM

I personally prefer CSL reps as the M6 reps don't look as good to me because of the lack of the concave-ness compared to the real M6 wheels (due to being not as wide AFAIK).

I'd get the corners right away because they are cheap. I'd lower before wheels, at least you use some mileage on the stocks. The Sport pckg. stocks are pretty nice IMO in person. When you want to get reps, LMK, found out one of my s2ki buddies actually is VMR.
