I've not used monoball ones before,but I was concerned about noise and just didn't want that. So I'm not really in a position to answer the question for you. I expect a monoball one would give even more feel or feedback perhaps.

They should be fine for winter use. The plates are aluminum. I'm pretty sure the washer/plate encapsulated in the polyurethane that the damper piston shaft is mounted to is steel, but that should be protected from the bottom by your dust boot and on top by the top rubber boot. You can always rinse it out with fresh water if you're worried about salt corrosion.
You can also always ask Millway about it since they're in Sweden where they're no strangers to winter conditions.

The stock upper mounts dont have spherical bearings bc the shock shaft is almost at 90 degrees, with more negative you need spherical bearings or the shafts in your shocks will bow out!

Thanks for the review on these. I've ordered them for the M2c. I think they will be a good compromise for street and occasional track duty.

Whilst they are based on existing hardware, they tend to have invested more in matching the spring rate and the damper settings, so have recommended settings for road and track for their coilovers which I've found to be pretty much perfect. They're firmer in spring rate than stock springs, but still fine for me as to use as a daily. On twisting back roads, canyon runs (as I think you guys call them in the States), they provide body control to a whole new level than stock dampers, which give a lot more confidence, and also improve traction hugely. On track they then give you a new level of performance too, such that the suspension no longer feels like the weak spot of the package (it then becomes the brakes). I also was able to buy mine from a friend who moved on to Intrax coilovers, so did not pay full price. That made it a no brainer for me. Whether they are worth the additional price over KWv3 if buying both new... I think that is harder to argue. I suspect someone who's had a few sets of coilovers and knew what they were doing would happy enough to get a set of KWv3 and then choose the settings myself. Hope that helps.

Nope. Have to order from the source. But they ship VERY quickly, and email support is excellent.

Will these fit an F80? Reason I ask is because the website lists this part # for m2c & m4, and another for m3, the m3 one they list has spherical bearings. Is there even anything different between an m3 or m4 front suspension?

I'm part way through the install but it looks clear that to get max camber setting the alloy brace will have to be removed for access to the camber plate adjustment hex bolts. Do you remove the brace or just use the max setting allowable with brace installed & if the later was wondering what that camber setting is? I'm booked in this week for an alignment and to mark both street & track camber/toe-in settings. I'm not really interested in having to remove the alloy brace each time so would be good to know in advance what I can get with it bolted in place. |

Even at that it can be awkward getting to one of them, and you run the risk of rounding out the hex bolt coming at it from an angle.

Yes I think so, as you could use them with stock springs.
