Gepfeffert KW V2 coilovers

Removed from my F30 before sale
These are designed to ride LOW, pic of my car running these attached
They ride amazingly well, especially when considering their height. far more compliant on the road than the BCs I ran before these.
Main bad points are:
one of the camber adjustment bolts has been stripped, will need replacing
does not come with KW toolkit ( c spanner and rebound adjustment key)

these are currently ~€2000 new from gepfeffert
£800 collected from east london (IG6)

honestly I went from running BCs to running these and it was a night and day difference, these handled imperfections in the road so much better.

Hey! Can I just check this suspension is for the slammed look only ? Can this not be setup normally where the wheels aren’t hiding in the arches! Possibly interested.

I’m after KW V2/3’s or B14’s

I know the fronts can be raised from where I had them a fair bit, the rears I'm not sure as I can't remember what they were set at for my ride height. You may need either longer springs or spring spacers.

I have a similar setup now on my f80 albeit clubsports, and have spring spacers in the rear so it's not completely on the floor - without the spring spacers the f80 would've sat like this:

Thanks for the reply! Regrettably its way too low for my requirements. Very tasteful modification - someone will buy eventually.

Late to the party here but swerve the Bilsteins if possible, save for a little longer if needed. I had a horrific time with B16's and Bilstein treated me like utter crap, I won't get into the full details but snapped springs, seized bump adjusters and insane corrosion to the shock bodies was just the beginning.

I ditched them after bearing play was deemed acceptable, I moved to KW and the difference was huge.

^^^

This

After a few test drives on B14s and B16s (with a car on B12s in between) and knowing KW & ST suspension well; I'd go for them over the Bilstein's any day of the week

My pals at Grinspeed have had plenty of issues with Bilstein suspension, serious corrosion issues and not that old either! Whereas KWs and STs they've had very little problems and when they have, they've been able to sort parts and get them rebuilt in no time etc
