Use a socket wrench and pick up a 10" extension and a 10MM hex socket. Pics of tool below. Insert the tool from underneath the rear springs (through the opening), all the way up until it reaches the coil top. The coil top has a 10mm hex opening which will mate with the tool. Here's the trick. You can either: 1) Hold the tool in place, which will lock the coil top from turning, and use the spanner to turn the perch to adjust the height. 2) do the opposite. Hold the spanner and perch in place and turn the socket tool. I find this method to be easier if you're underneath the car. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the explanation and photos. But I already stumbled upon this trick as I searched the internet to find a solution. Coincidentally it was another Audi owner that posted it. I was excited to try it until I found out that the F30 KW V2 kit did not have the hole for the hex tool anyways; the perch is just solid. I don't know if it's just a BMW thing or just the fact that I got one of the first KW kits for the F30. During my research, I've never seen a BMW owner post up this particular solution for their BMW w/ KW. Perhaps KW added the hex hole for the Audi kits? |

Also, I'm close to pulling the trigger on either the Bilstein PSS9 or CKS. If I go with the PSS9, I'll add my findings to this post.

Did I just see somewhere that the Bilstein PSS9 and PSS10 have been released for F30? I can't seem to be able to find them for sale online anywhere yet.

Hey guys, I am new to the car scene and for my first part upgrade I am considering a KW V1 Coilover. I have a 12' F30 335i with all the packages except the M pack, with this I believe I do not have the EDC function. I wanted to ask, do I purchase a KW V1 without the EDC option? if I get it installed will this affect the sport+/sport/comfort/eco pro functions in its entirety or just the suspension portion of it? Thanks in advance for your inputs!

My friend has a KW coilover system installed on his X6 and loves it (he needed the additional lowering capacity!) |
