Has anyone installed the KW Variant 2 Coilovers on a F56 JCW with stock 17 inch wheels. Would like to know if they were a direct fit or required spacers on the wheels?
Not sure about the OEM wheels but I'm running the V2s with the 17" NM 5 spoke and no spacer is needed. I did need to switch from 215/45 tires to 205/45s to eliminate an occasional slight rub on the rear tires.

Thanks, did you lower the car any and if so how much?
It's a little lower than stock, but not drastically. Probably a little over an inch. It's 5 inches from the bottom of the car to the ground when measured directly under the door handle. I didn't measure it before the change though. This is with the 215/45 17 tires.

Dang looks good. Almost exactly what my car will look like only I have black mirrors and stripes.
