You can do other things to your car while you wait. Save the suspension (best part) for last. Do it right the first time.

I wont be interested at that price. I would be willing to pay up to 1k more than the non edc pss10. But at over 4k, there is no chance I will be interested.

That's MSRP guys. When's the last time you paid MSRP for anything? Example, K&W ClubSport is $4k MSRP. There's a handful of resellers that can sell them @ $3k. Just wait to see what street price really is.

MSRP is usually on the highest side of pricing, direct from manufacturer. Indeed retailers can sell for less, in most cases 20-30% less.

Great example. Retail on standard Bilstein B16 PSS10 is $3,231.53. We currently offer them at $2,300.85 before any promotions or forum discounts.

We're positive the Ride Control kit will be in the upper echelon of quality with superb adjustability and performance to warrant the pricing.

Comfort mode is the only way I can even drive this car around where I have to drive daily..

$4kish with camber plates and this wouldn't be the worst deal in the world.

The EDC suspension is really good already but I am looking forward to these

[psedog]

Hell it would be cheaper to have custom fenders made lower to remove the gap, lol.

I ran b16 damptronics on my 997 which integrated with Porsche Active Stability Management equivelant of bmw's EDC and the ride was something in between normal and sport button on in that vehicle. The ride was slightly stiffer but still rode ok. I would say these comapre more to KWV2's not the V3's since the bilsteins control ride height and dampening.

I ran KWV3's in my e90 M3 and I had the car lowered about 1.2 inches and rode softer than OEM competition package without bottoming out. all my friends rode in my car and loved the way my car felt. Most of the people who rode in my car didnt even know it was lowered until I mentioned it to them. I remember a buddy of mine who had a 997 switched from B16 damptronics to KWV3's who swore the V3's rode much softer but I didn't believe him. I'm not sure about the f8x applciation but the rebound adjustment really can make a difference from a bouncey and hard riding vehicle to a supple and soft riding vehicle.

Can't wait for these coilovers to be released. I always hoped they would release a system that used the OEM EDC functionality. I had Bilstein PSS9's on my E46 and it was a good compromise between a street and track setup.

I think I would go up to $3500 on these but I would feel dirty even doing that.

The right suspension can make a car feel like it's worth so much more than the sum of the parts.

kw should just make the damn V1 and forget that HAS garbage

I think HAS is fine as long as you don't want to run super wide tires. With that said I ordered KW V3 today because I like super wide tires.

[Warranty P]

I understand that is very silly to mess with ///M suspension. Why would you pay money to make your car handle worse?

Maybe my understanding is off base here.

Any updates on the availability of this suspension?

I think it'll ship in Oct/Nov.

These will prob be worth waiting for, but driving a stock car is a real struggle lol.
