Was just about to ask if you were running spacers. I'm on 12mm squared, but feel rear could be 15mm easy. |

As for the spacers, I'll ask Phil what he thinks. Anybody here have 12mm front and 15mm back spacer setup? If you do, what are your thoughts? |

I’ve just went through most of the posts about suspension and the X3MC modifications. I think I racked up a collective 8 hours of reading and researching over the last week.
Thank you for your descriptive experience comparing stock to the KW V3s. Having just gotten the X3MC at first I wasn’t too bothered for the first couple hours of driving and then I was bothered for the following hours on a trip. The way back I think I’ve gotten used to the stock suspension. I will give myself until spring and a few thousand miles to see if I pull the trigger on the KW V3s. |

The stock suspension is a tricky topic. I think a big factor when deciding if you like it or not comes down to prior vehicle history. If you are used to very soft, plush suspension then I can see why it would be harsh or too firm. For me, having always done aftermarket suspension and sporty models, I really didn't mind it and thought it rode really nice. You can't go wrong either way!

Similar to the BrockDM I think I have gotten used to the stock suspension and think it rides nice on the normal setting. Sport is still too stiff for me for in city driving though haha. Sometimes I wonder if changing springs or switching to coilovers would be worth it but don't think it's necessary when you already have another car money pit.

I am on V3s as well. The difference is pretty significant. Car is still stiff, yet more comfortable, meaning it feels more planted and less darty than the stock suspension, especially when hitting those damn expansion joints at speed, lol. Besides a tune, my best mod so far.

i have this EXACT same setup but in my x3m…. your cars seems like it’s a bit lower than mine but for some reason, i get a rub over large bumps or highways bumps when going fast in the rear right… do you experience any rubbing? have any height measurements by any chance?

Honestly, I would call/e-mail KW. It's going to be the best way to get a correct answer. That being said, I would imagine you can tow with them.

just installed mine and the shop used the recommended settings, it's still a little too bouncy, so I will just have to adjust rebound? or does the compression have to be adjusted as well?

Start with a few clicks softer on the rebound. Typically that's where the bounce comes from

What's the feedback on suspension travel with the KW's? Do you still have a decent amount of travel? Are you at all "bottoming" out? Thanks in advance. This looks like the best solution, i've only had coil overs once and it was on a 09 335 xi and it was good. I still have reservations for some reason though so any insight helps!
