Dropped on KW V3 Coils (pics)

Finally snapped some quick cell phone pics of my car dropped with KW V3 coils. Ride quality is top notch, ride height was "too low" for my liking at first, but the more I drove it the more I like it. Handling is unreal. 20mm spacers in the rear, 15mm spacers in the front. Looking to get 19" G37s wheels as well once I find them for the right price.

No. I did twice when I nailed two potholes after I first dropped it and wasn't used to driving a lowered car...that sucked.

are those coilovers? Never heard of them, hmmm. Well I just researched real quick and many people apear to like KWs much better then any other set they had before, especially when talking about ride confort.

So why did you drop yours that you didn't like in the beginning? You could've always raised it up when you didn't like it, especially when those are coilovers. Are you dropped on maximum right now (in those pics)?

Yeah, I did a lot of reading on these forums before I went out and bought coilovers. Yes, they are coilovers. I wanted the best coilovers, without sacrificing ride comfort but also giving me top notch handling so I bought these. They are purely amazing. Believe it or not, the rear height is almost at the HIGHEST it goes. Whereas, the front is dropped about 1.3". These are the coils made for the G37 coupe. I think if I buy the eibach spring for the rear, I might be able to higher it a bit. However, I like the ride height it is at right now, it looks nice and almost flush.

man you almost convinced me to go with these I just cant believe you're slammed and still beat the quality ride confort that many coils would offer.

But hold on, if your rear is not completely down why not raise it up a bit and make it flush with the fronts instead of buying harsh Eibachs???

Also if those are for the G37 coupe, they still work for our Sedan generation?

The rears are already at the highest height possible, or close to it. I actually think the drop looks perfect, even though I was skeptical at first. It looks like a lot of M3 owners go with KW coils as well, they seem to be optimal. Also, I do not hear any squeaks or random noises that other people encounter with their coils. Like I said, handling is top notch as well as ride quality. Tell you the truth, I want the coils to be stiffer than the default setting that I have it at now.
