Back and forth shimmy on new coilovers
Peeps,
I installed KW V1's about 4 months ago..I have been very happy with them, except for one thing. When i come to a hard stop, the car rocks back and forth...just a very little amount, but just enough to annoy me. I've heard that it could be the control arm bushings, and that i probably didn't feel it before because my stock suspension wasn't transferring as much energy as it is now. Which could be true because my stock shocks were pretty much blown. So has anyone else experienced this on the V1's? Any input is appreciated. Thanks

What's your mileage?
I just had mine replaced at 67k miles and they were beat. |

i get a strange feeling of the car rocking back and forth like the car is searching for level but constantly over correcting left/right tilt while crusing at freeway speeds. the car also feels needlessly bouncey like a boat/buick at times too. |

^^That's not what i'm experiencing at all. I just get a tiny little bounce when my brakes bite down and I come to a complete stop. Nothing weird at all when i'm moving. That sounds strange.

Any update?
Did you ever solve your issue? I have a 335i F30 doing the same thing.
