Very interested in these for my E90 but a few questions.
How do these differ from the v2 and v3?
How hard is the install?

KW V1's are a more basic set of coilovers. You can only adjust height. For most people, these are more then enough. Everyone i know that has KW V1's love it.

KW V2's allow you to adjust height and rebound dampening. Perfect for those that do a little more spirited driving as you can adjust dampening quite easily.

KW V3's allow you to adjust height, rebound, and compression. This is geared toward the more extreme drivers that want full adjustability. But keep in mind that these coilovers are not made to just be installed and left. You have to take the time to set it up properly or you wont be able to take full advantage of them.

V1's are great Paul, you really cant go wrong. Long had KW V1's on his E92 you can ask him about it. John has ST coilovers too (which i heard is exactly the same as KW V1 except they are made of a different metal) so you can ask him for a ride to see how they feel. But if you really want the adjustability, then you would have to go with V2's or even V3's.

Install is not too bad. Its way easier then trying to install a set of springs.

Great explaination Law Thanks!
I'll have to talk to John about his but these sound like just what i need.
V3 are def more than i need. V2 sounds nice but V1 should do it.
Very suprised to hear that these are at all easier to install than springs!

very true.

there has definitely been a noticeable slow down of the Marketplace since all the economic issues got nasty.

Bump for a Trojan and a good deal. I'm thinking about just picking up some H&R Sport springs for $200, but I would love to have some C.O to dial in the perfect ride height.
