The recommended settings I felt were very sporty, but very hard at slow speeds. The 1/4 turn soft for the rebound still left the sporty feel, but made it more comfortable during city driving. High speed stability is rock solid and now I can hit potholes and not cringe. Huge improvement! Body roll isn't solved with just coilovers. A full sway bar setup should help you with that problem, but at least my car doesn't feel as floaty as it used to with the OEM setup. I would also like to do the sway bars, but I can't justify spending $500 to install the rears alone. I think your going to be worse off using the H&R's.

Hmmm... I dropped my rear 1.25" and an 1.5" up front. Well actually an 1.5" on the front passenger and an 1.75" on the driver side. Just to make the front even.

If you would like to email me directly at *************@kwautomotive.com with your contact information, I can keep you directly informed to the progress made to fix this issue. Thank you for your patience. We will get it solved and get you back into happy motoring in no time at all. Glen Messinger Director of Sales, Marketing and R&D KW automotive North America, Inc. |

Does this mean people should hold off buying a set of V3s at the moment?

It is not going to happen fast. It would be great time to change out the spring to something better and get rid of the noise for good. I hate to say it but the springs with this kit are junk. It is the first thing I tell people to toss out when tuning the suspension with KW.

For the record, I just want to add my two chirps to the others. Had the KW v.3 set-up installed six months ago. the frequency of chirps has decreased but they are very much still there. By the way, if you open the front windows you'll hear that they are much louder and more metallic-sounding than what we hear with the windows closed.
I've lowered the car the minimum possible with the KWs Orb, thanks so much for all of your work and input here. (2008 335xi sedan-auto trans.) |

Got in communication with Glen Messinger as well. KW Germany performed a multitude of tests including accelerated wear and they were done with the tests as of Monday of this week. They were going to report their findings to him yesterday. However, due to his business travels and lack of internet i won't hear back from him till wednesday, the 27th.
I'll update u guys when i hear something.
