Need to find a local Shop for adjusting coilovers

08Alpine335xi · 12-23-2014, 05:17 PM

Whatsup fellas, Im new to the BMW world, and need some info if anyone knows any good places to bring my car to have them adjust the coilovers. Long story short i just bought the car,and as i was putting on my winter wheel set up i just bought i noticed that whoever the previous owner was had installed the v2 KW coilover kit. That makes me happy in a sence that it saves me from spending $2500 on suspension. Thanks for the help

TurnerMotor Sports - Amesbury, MA

$75-100 hourly is pretty standard

What wheels (specs too) are you on btw? Car looks legit! Turner has a bunch of street cars with a similar setup. Check their site

KW doesn't make v2 for the xi. You must have v1 or v3

Ahhh i just checked it out so there probably v1, either way it saves me on doing the suspension.

I can adjust. I can also do a 4 wheel laser alignment.

Dave is the man!

Thanks

If you change your tire sets yourself, you can adjust the KWs yourself. Just need the wrench. I raised mine up last weekend.

I did i just need to buy the wrench to adjust them. I just want to make sure its done right and i don't screw anything up height wise like having one side a few mm different from the other. Im sure i can order the tool online i'm assuming they pretty universal?

I have KW wrenches if need be. In the attleboro area all the time. Message me if you still need em!

Sounds good man. You have extras you looking to get rid of? wouldn't be bad to have em in the tool box!

b-man · 01-04-2015, 10:29 AM

The rears don't adjust that easily. You need keep the black part in place somehow, or drop the control arm

b-man · 01-04-2015, 12:40 PM

I'm not sure if they're universal. It's like $30 with shipping from kw. All kws use the same one, I know that

08Alpine335xi · 01-04-2015, 05:02 PM

Yea, they have a bunch of diff generic ones on Amazon but im iffy if itll even work. Might just wait till the nice weather gets here and then invest.
