Kw v3

Finally got my KW V3 coilovers installed!!! WOW what a difference!! Rides and drives totally like a different car..... Gotta feel it to believe it..... NO body roll , and when I go with softer tires than runflats I can only imagine.... Best money I've spend on my 2012 CMS4 ALL 4!!!! Simply unbelievable .....

That's awesome.. I've just traded my JCW Coupe for a JCW Paceman and coilovers are the first mod on the list. Can't wait! Where did you get yours if you don't mind me asking? Also, I'm correct in thinking these work on an ALL4 right?

Loved my Coupe but logistics and space forced my hand into a more practical MINI for me.

Correct! These are the only ones available for the ALL4 and they are awesome! My local speed shop ordered them direct from KW!

Installed mine today after Santa dropped them off in his big brown truck. First impression? Beautiful! They come with a nice kit case for the proprietary tools used for adjustments etc. install was s breeze as far as that goes. I used the KW factory recommended setting for now to see how the car does and I can say the ride is amazing. Handles like a beast, looks great and no harshness at all. Well worth the expense.

Sweet!!! That looks great...love the color combo. Maybe I should have stayed with the RG. Oh well I am sure I will love the CR when it gets here

That stance is good. Can it go any lower?

Thanks for the compliments. I love it. The KW's are absolutely fantastic. As to your question yes. The coilovers can go lower. In this pic they are at the factory default setting. They can go quite a bit lower. These are 19" wheels as well so they take up a lot of gap. I'll be going with 18" aftermarket lightweight wheels in the future so there'll be more room to play with.

Good to know. Mine will have the 18" wheels along with JCW body kit, but just an S. I may go with the Megan Racing kit though. Can't wait til it gets here!!
