KW does not use a linear rate constant ID coilover type spring so there is no comparison.

KW V2(matches rebound adjustments on the Koni Sport Yellows) retails at $1895, so let's say you can get them at ~$1500, you will have to spend another $672 for the conversion kit(not counting machine work). That makes the KW V2 true coilover kit at ~$2172. The Koni SA coilover kit is only $1537 by comaprison with your choice of spring rates. Try ordering the KW V2 with different spring rates, NOT possible.

If you are already running KW V2 or 3 and is interested in the KW coilover conversion kit, have a look at the followring thread for more info:

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=329544

For those already have Koni Sport Yellows on their cars, this is an excellent add on and conversion.

Send me some photos of your JIC/Cross system and I'll see what I can do.

I may need more info, but photos will be a good start.

Doesn't seem a good value at all. The springs retail for like $400, the thrust sheets for like $50, and we are supposed to pay $500 for 4 CNC machnined nuts ? IMO, the real value of the kit is not more than $650.

The sleeve over, top hats and rear height adjusters all add to the total cost of the kit. Not to mention the two spanner wrenches.

Coilover Kit

Already have Koni Yellows on the car- would go for these in a second but the price really seems disproportionate to the item. Seems like I'd be paying $500.00 for a pair of CNC machined sleeves. Understand R&D and production costs and all of that but Wow!

Swift springs are $99 each, rear height adjusters are $200, sleeve-overs are $195, $78 for upper perches, $50 for Swift thrust sheets....not even counting spanner wrenches.

Is this compatible with the XI? and can the front be purchased separate? I already have the rear setup.

Yes, but since you don't have a short housing front strut you will have a slightly reduced bump travel.

So with this setup, i keep my koni yellows, but swap out my eibach pro-kit springs for these swift springs and gain the ability to adjust ride height as well as better handling?

How are the front sleeves installed. Looks like the perches on the koni need to be removed. Is this a DIY affair?

Yes, it's DIY. The Koni perches are only a friction fit and so are ours. You can take a rubber mallet and give the Koni perches a light tap.
