I have KW V1's on my 335xdrive but i wanted to know is it possible to add Damping to them, I know you can replace the rears by buying adjustable Koni's but what about the Front Struts ? And what are really good ones ?

Don't think you can add it to the fronts. But interested in how the rears will work tho.

Wait, what? So basically you just want to switch to different dampers? You're basically replacing the coilover *system* at that point so why wouldn't you just sell the V1's and get Koni whites from HP Autosport, or similar?

The damper is the most costly part of the kit...

i was asking about the fronts the rears can be replaced with anything i know but i just wanted to know if i can add damping shocks to the fronts buy taking the original KW strut out.

Do you mean adjustable shocks? All shocks are "damping"- that's just what they do.

And again, the answer is yes you can ... But you might as well l just get another kit because the price differential won't be all that much compared to replacing just the dampers. That's the point I'm trying to get across, maybe not clearly enough and I apologize if so.
