F36 Coilovers - limited selection?

That sucks... what you gonna do?

I'm looking at different prices for camber plates. I'm also looking at the different options for adding camber in the front.

I'm honesty leaning towards keeping them despite my negative experience so far. The fact that the coilovers are KW made gives me assurance that the product should be good.

My other thought is saving the money I'm going to spend on the camber plates and putting that towards a HPFP. I've been eyeing the Dorch (stage 1) and Spool HPFP.

Do you need additional camber? This is what I have.

Curious to hear how you like them after 2 months and were you able to completely clear that wheel gap? Had no clue the KW-V3's weren't an option

I completely forgot to update that thread. I'll update it today. And yes, I closed the wheel gap and I've had zero issues with the coilovers so far.

I just called KW and they said that the KW-V3's do fit for the F36 RWD and he gave me the part number 3522000L. I'm going to start a thread to confirm if anyone's running V3's. As far as not having the dampening option, how's the ride and overall experience

I never looked into V3's. My focus was between V1 and V2s and what ST had in comparison to those two.
