KW V1's are finally on! What a difference!!
I knew I'd like them but I didn't know I'd love them this much! The ride is perfectly acceptable and not too harsh but all the squishy feeling during breaking, turning, etc. from the stock suspension is gone!
Here are a couple of pics. 20mm spacers on the rear. Front spacers aren't on yet. |

Do you have a pic of the car profile from the side? It looks like the top of the tire is just barely at the fender both front and back. Would that sound right to you? You kept a little bit of the raked look?

This is the only one I had and I took it right after picking the car up from the shop. I had it raised up just under an inch in the back while I got it aligned and corner balanced yesterday. I'll take a pic and post it to show how it sits now.

I doubt it. Don't think there's a difference between coupe and sedan as far as how much space you have. I just put my summer tires back on and had to switch to 15mm spacers on the back (winter set was 225 all the way around and summer set is staggered). Those are almost too much. I can't even fit my pinky in between the tire and the fender now.

Nice!
I just had my KW V1s installed on my e92...went with a square setup 245/35/18 PSS, and BBS CH-R 18x8 et 40 all around. No rubbing, going to add some 10-15mm spacers in the rear this weekend |
