Those with KW and slammed

Already have KW V3 and love them. I am pretty low but have some room. My shop says if I go lower I will bottom out and rub and never went any lower. After seeing numerous post of slammed Cars I wonder is my shop accurate with their statement. I like to drop another possible .5 inch which would put me to similar ride height with the other cars I am seeing on the forums

I'm debating as well. I'm currently on h&r vtf with the fronts at the lowest setting. But always wonder if kw at the same height is less bumpy ?

I wish there someone local who can give me a test drive 😜

Do u have the kwv3 with standard suspension or air bags in the rear? How's your ride quality compared to stock on a bumpy road?

All X5m have air rear suspension. I’m not concerned with ride quality as I won’t change much. It’s fhe running and hitting the fender

Does the KW V3 kit for F85 come with rear links and module to prevent EDC error codes?

Im actually very happy with the H&R 1.2" kit on my E70 X5M, ride has ZERO bounce and just a little firmer than Stock....So am thinking i should do other mods before going KW V3's

Im changing ACS to KW Recomended by KW ?Is there a manual inside that shows all the recomended setting ? rebound etc.?Still waiting for it
The manual doesn't shows you the recommendation dampening setting. But what came in the box is the recommended setting.
So make sure you take a note before it accidentally changed during installation.
