Way better, not sure if it was just my installation of the springs but riding on eibach the fronts were literally sitting on the bump stops.
When I installed the bump stops from E36 M3 it still drove like trash, every bump or pothole was a crashing bang.

v1's are a slightly more stiff but still very comfortable and handle a lot better.

I just installed mine and rear are at half height and front a bit between half and lowest



I have a e90 x drive and the rear still sit lower than the front even tho the front is lowered more.

Is it better to have that reverse rake for the handling ?? I.kinda want to get the rear to max height for that rake cool stance but im afraid handling will suffer and the nose will dive on breaking


Cani see yours ansld what are your thoughts ?

Car looks good! I need to re-adjust mine. Rear is sitting a little to high. And would like the front slightly lower.

Looks great! I have a silver '11 335i xDrive which I lowered with KW v1 coilovers too. I'm running 18" VMR V718 in hyper silver. Every time I look at your car I want to dump my stock bumper and install an M Sport bumper.

I'm from Guilderland originally. I really liked the pics at Empire State Plaza. Brought back memories.

Just had them installed last week so I don't have enough miles on them to answer your question. So far so good. So far I feel a really big difference with the xi suspension. Much more connected to the road and wallows less in turns.

I love them, haven't owned PSS before.

Only complaint is the DW's have a lot of road noise I've noticed.
