How are the KW Street comforts? Was thinking of upgrading my BC Racing setup...too soft in the front over large bumps.

Wagons and lake life in the summer...they just go together.

Today's project installation of a Thule pulley lift for cargo box. Washing the car this weekend now!

JDAURIA · 08-06-2021, 04:13 PM

Can anyone confirm if 513 with Fronts 255/40/18 and rears 285/35/18 tires will work without fender rolling?

First impressions after a week amd a few 15-20 mile drives.
Firm but supple, not harsh, like a well tuned sport suspension should be.
Front are easy to adjust as well for both height and rebound.
Rears are absolutely Not.
It’s more of a “hope you got it right” on install situation there.

Downside to SC is they don’t go very low in the rear if you leave the rear spacers on the adjusters in. About an inch in rear is max down with those in as seen above. (27” down to 26”) I’m planning to pull mine out next time I go in and also go up one click on rear dampeners.

The fronts can go stupid low, half down is about 2” but then you have no spring preload to keep springs in place when suspension unloads. I’m running about 1/3rd down for 1.5” drop front. (27 down to 25.5) the little bit of rake makes the front msport bumper look lower and helps when it is loaded with the family.

Upside is you can literally run stock x drive height, or within a 1/4” of it and it still rides nice and taut, which might be good for those who live in snow areas, as that’s what I did for the first day or so.

KW Street Comfort. If you have BC I’m guessing you want to be lower than 1-1.3 inch rear and 1.5 ish front so you might want to look at v2 instead. These aren’t made to go very low.

Not a pretty pic but functional to demonstrate ride height, rear tire is jsut untucked, front tire is just tucked about 3/8”.

Very interested in hearing who you get to do the paint correction and ceramic coating in the Philly area. I'm out in Malvern with a nearly identical spec F31 (mineral grey over saddle) but also with M Sport and Track Handling packages that I'd like to have done.

Not in the US. Looks like a converted 2 pipe set up. Only Diesel or 328/330i here.

Nice car though.
