KW V3 owners please share your thoughts
Hello guys,
Recently stumbled across a used KW V3 for pretty good price locally. I couldn't find much information regarding the ride quality especially in terms of comfort for the KW V3. I currently have the Eibach Pro Kit with stock shocks, and wondering those who have the KW V3 or rode a F30 on them before could share some thoughts regarding the ride comfort compared to lowering springs or the stock suspension. Thank you! Last edited by radicalrev; 11-25-2020 at 07:39 PM.. |

KW V3 coilovers offer independent rebound and compression controls. You will be able to tune suspension behavior across a much wider envelope. Lowering springs offer one setting - and it cannot be changed.
I suggest to explore whether KW V3 lowering range is what you want. If the price is right, then these coilovers would be worth a serious consideration. |

What about the comfort? Does it offer smoother ride and feel when going over uneven surfaces compared to the lowering springs + stock shocks? |

You'll like the KW3 once you adjust them to your liking and comfort would be a bit better or more then the lowering springs but not worse and they'll last you a long time. The lowering springs will eventually bust out your shocks causing you to fishtail on hard acceleration lol

radicalrev, 19" wheels are a good match for KW V3 coilovers. In fact, if you decided to install 20" wheels, KW V3 would be a practical necessity in order to have the flexibility to adjust compression and rebound since the smaller sidewall would transmit more road imperfections, making the ride harsher.
