Saw one thread on KW, but not much info. Anyone have personal experience with this brand? How do they compare for price, quality, comfort, handling? What are the different variants. Seem to be selling for around $1100.

Would you get these, M7's, H&Rs, something else, or wait awhile to see what else becomes available for R56 MCS?

Thanks,

 

I've had two separate (non MINI) suspension and alignment specialists in SoCal urge me to wait for the Bilstein PSS9s.
I probably won't go this direction because I don't want to spend $2K + install for coilovers.

 

I have heard many negatives about the PSS9s. I cannot say much beacsue I have never used them personally, but it seems that the Cross's take the cake when next to the PSS9's. You should talk to glnr13 I believe that he uses the PSS9s and can give better feedback then my advise. Also, I think that he has used/riden in/something or other the Cross's in an R53.

 

Also, to more directly answer your original question.
Talk to OasisT about KW suspension he uses the V2 and was the 2006 SCCA champion in his class.

 

I like my variant 3's.

 

KW is a very well known suspension company. They tend to use Koni parts. The PSS9's get very good reviews on other cars.

Here's an M3 CSL with KW suspension setting a production car lap record at the "Ring."
