(Photos) F85 X5M KW V3 installed

Good afternoon friends
As I had told you days ago and I installed the Kw V3 suspension and the truth is that it has nothing to do with the H&R VTF that I was wearing, both in comfort and in performance. Currently, I have it lowered to the maximum and both optically and the
driving is perfect.
And I got excited about the car again since I had been discouraged for a long time due to how bad the car felt only with the springs.
Wait
that you like it and if you have any questions, ask

Great car. Thanks for sharing!

How would you characterize the ride comfort after the installation?

It really has nothing to do with how I had it before and I mean in my case wearing it low.
Here the roads are very good but with the original suspension it was unpleasant for me. It was too hard and bounced to the slightest imperfection making the car feel unstable, then there is the steering that felt harder or uncomfortable to drive.
In my case it was really a 100% improvement
I have tried both the Blue H&R and finally the VTF and the truth is that I have been disappointed.
It is clear that the Kw are much more expensive but I think it is really worth it and buying the complete kit with cancellers is all plug play without any error

Did you have air suspension before? I've got ZHP and still find the ride a bit too harsh, have been looking at KWs....but not sure how much (if at all) they would soften/quiet the ride if coming from air
