Help with KW V2 non EDC Install (rear 3 finger gap lowest)

willpower · 08-11-2014, 11:12 PM

Hello,

I took my coilovers to a mechanic that does good work but not normally on new BMWs.

They over-slammed the front (which is easily fixed), and the rear is a 3 finger gap, which is higher than stock.

The mechanic says that he had to install the adjustment disk on the bottom of the rear spring because it did not fit the top cup?

To my knowledge, he is supposed to install the adjustment disk from the top correct? Does he need to remove anything inside the top cup to make this work?

The kit was used by a member here for his F32, and is the F30 set.

Figured it out. The mechanic did not remove the stock spring cup/perch.

Ya I'm running 245/35/20 and its dangerously close to rubbing in the front even at max

Yes they need to remove the cup.

Just make sure they follow the instructions manual located in the KW Tool kit. I believe the top portion of the oem dust boot is also used up front.
