Where to get KW v2 in Australia!

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone has got KW v2 installed on the bmw.
Im chasing a set and just trying to source out the cheapest price.
I found a set of kw v2 coilovers in australia for $3800.
has anyone seen cheaper?

Im considering buying overseas from one of the sponsors on this forum who quoted me just a tad over the $2000mark.
With shipping Kwv2 over from overseas is there anything else on top i have to pay as this price seems to good.

Thanks in advance.

I'd speak to JBSPEED for the KW. I think you're looking around $1,400us + shipping around $200us, but i'd pay extra for fedex. Reviews on KW are pretty mixed.

I'd look at the FK Silverline X. Adjustable dampers and height (same as KW v2) stainless steel, made in germany, lifetime warranty and cost $1,089us from supremepower.com. They also have a non adjustable dampening kit for $800us I think.

Just remember, most coilovers won't clear most front stock wheels due to offset, at least on the E92.

Thanks for your replys.
Fk silverlines.....just did a search on them.
Very interested now in Fk's. Juggling between FK's and Kw's!
do all coilovers need spacers? or just the Fk's?
Ive got a e90 2006 320i.

FK's review well, but the shocks need to be taken off to adjust the dampening. A lot of people running them can recommend settings though.

I heard a lot of coils won't clear most stock bmw wheels... might depend on the wheel though because it's a few mm difference.

Maybe H&R sport springs might be better for a 320 unless you plan to heavily mod and track it? Andrew might be able to look after you with those.
