kwv1 owners? driving impressions

solacebmw · 01-17-2008, 12:06 AM

i am interested in KW coilovers. I have the sport suspension, actually swapped them from my base suspesnsion. for some reason, my ride height is lower than base but not as low as other oem sport cars. so, i am now looking at KWs. also thought of eibach/fsd but i heard kw's are better. any opinions. trying not to go too high on budget so no kwv2s. thanks from an newbie!

as far as comfort, my friend had recently just switched i believe from eibach as well to kwv1 and he absolutely loves the ride, and said he it was much better. but then again when he was on springs, he was using hes non-sport shocks. and for height it was a lil higher than his old springs
