New KW V1 coilovers and 19" 225m wheels fitted w/ pics

Dereleek · 04-30-2010, 03:57 PM

Just had the coilovers, wheels, and Hankook V12 evo tires fitted today. Best money I ever spent! I have posted before and after pictures so you can compare. The horrible body roll and huge wheel gap from the AWD suspension are gone forever--I used to be able to fit my fist in the wheel gap.

Took my car to a local racing shop to get the work done and the when I arrived to pick it up--the whole shop was outside checking out my car.

They said they couldn't believe the difference from before and after. I have to agree

Enjoy.

looks great man. I have read a lot of good things about KWs

Dereleek · 04-30-2010, 04:09 PM

Wow--the wheel gap looks huge in this pic

Manboy · 04-30-2010, 04:14 PM

Gotta love KWs! Drop is perfekt

Are you using spacers or not? the wheels look a bit tucked.

Thanks. The KWs are so awesome--not too firm and completely eliminated body roll. Coupled with the AWD..the car is a beast!!

The wheels are a bit tucked..no spacers currently. Looking at adding some to fill it out a bit, but have to be careful of rubbing since I am running 265s in the rear

CaptChaos · 04-30-2010, 04:36 PM

Nice wheels! Drop looks perfect too. Enjoy!

graves4r6 · 04-30-2010, 04:41 PM

Nice set up! Love the look!

E92-Lighting · 04-30-2010, 06:26 PM

sick setup, coilovers are well worth the extra cost

UAP1 · 04-30-2010, 06:27 PM

Sitting sweet!

fdriller9 · 04-30-2010, 06:28 PM

Looks great! But this should really be in the Wheels/Suspension or Photo/Media section.

Looks great!

Topless 335i · 04-30-2010, 07:55 PM

Looks great, i'm running kwv2 also. I'm much lower than you and running the same size tires (michellin ps2) without rubbing and the ps2's are known to be wider than average so don't worry about spacers. I just wouldn't run spacers in the front.

VTECaddict · 04-30-2010, 07:59 PM

I'd drop the rear just a smidge more. The gap looks a tiny bit bigger than the front.

cotmfk · 05-01-2010, 08:12 AM

The difference is huge! Looks great now.

Craig@SupremePower · 05-01-2010, 10:27 AM

P.S. Resize your pics to 800x800 or 900x900 on resizeapic.com

BTM · 05-01-2010, 11:02 AM

Nice

I love 225m's...can't decide between those or 359s for my E90

brocklanders · 05-01-2010, 02:26 PM

how do you like the tires, i put them on my car a few months ago also. they are fine for everyday driving, but seem to loose traction easier then the oe bfg's when i dump the clutch, and i dont have 300ftlbs. not sure if they just werent broken in or what.
