You will have the ability to adjust the height of the vehicle with pre-set damping by the engineers at KW.

The KW V2 is a system intended for the experienced driver who requires to not only determine the individual lowering of their vehicle, but adjust the damper setting to fine tune the system to their needs. The adjustable rebound damper allows adjustment of the pitch and roll behavior of the vehicle, adapting it to one‘s own driving preferences. You will be able to adjust the height of the vehicle with the ability to also adjust the rebound damping. Rebound adjustment, with the exception of specified vehicles, can be performed with the kit installed via an adjustment spindle on the end of the piston rod. The rebound damping primarily, controls pitch and roll of the vehicle, especially in the low speed damping range which directly influences handling and comfort. Therefore vehicle can be adjusted to the needs of the driver, making the ride variable from comfortable to sporty and stiff, both with improved road handling

The KW V3 is state-of-the-art technology for the skilled and experienced driver. The separate and independent compression and rebound damping options allow a truly individual driving set-up. These unique systems with the 3 individually adjustable components, allows for adjustment of the compression of the damper in the low-speed range, while the high speed set-up, so decisive for driving comfort, has been preset by our engineers. You will be able to adjust the height of the vehicle as well as both rebound and compression settings. The compression characteristics are adjusted utilizing a new, patented valve at the lower end of the damper casing. The number of pre-installable parameters available for this valve allow for settings for just about any application required. The unique low-speed pressure adjustment is the decisive feature of this technology. In this absorption area the handling of the vehicle is greatly influenced. An increase in the damping force supports the vehicle even during compression, thereby preventing pitch, roll and notably improving cornering behavior. In association with independent adjustable rebound absorption the experienced driver has all the parameters required for effective suspension tuning.

The most popular system by far is the KW V2 because it gives you the best of both worlds in terms of adjustments! I do have a special going on for all you E90post guys so shoot me a PM if you have any questions at all!

KW3s here
Corners and handles like on rails
Totally worth the extra money to be able to fine tune settings
