Any of you guys have experience with KW V2s? I am thinking of this set up for the car, will be mostly daily driven with the occasional track runs.
Thanks

Thanks Mr. Wilson. Do you know if they are hard to install/adjust yourself? I would think the valving would need to be adjusted by a shop, what about height adjustment though?

Adjusting ride height is a breeze. I can go from slammed to stock (on my FK's) in about 30-45 minutes.
Valving is typically adjusted using a specially provided tool used in the top of the coilover. Usually the front dampening can be adjusted easily....whareas the rear is what you set it on during install. On mine...to adjust rear dampening..I would have to pull the shock, adjust, and re-install.
Ride height is adjustable using this collar (purple).....
Using this wrench....
Then the dampening up front is adjustable with a tool that is inserted in the top (which changes the valving) - Where I have the green dot placed.

Dane's right, I have them on my car. I've had them for about 2 years now and can say that the car handles better and is smoother than stock. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.
bimmerlifestyle bought some v1 and loved them. v2 are only better :D

V2's allow you to also adjust the rebound damping. V1's are preset from factory and are not adjustable.
