Lowering question

Hey guys going to be buying kW v1 coils sometime this month. I was wondering how long it takes to settle, and how much lower it'll be once it does settle. Also want to go low enough to not rub (oem 17") but also remove the wheel gap and also be stiffer. Any advice?

You are getting a coilovers. That means you'll be able to adjust the ride height if you're not satisfied once it settled. My advice would be to get another alignment after a month from install since you might be adjusting the height and the springs had already settled.

My V2 took about 3 months to completely settle.

You can adjust the height with any KW coilovers.

"Depending on vehicle model this varies between 30 to 70mm or 50 to 90mm. Even after years you can adjust the height quickly and easily due to the dirt resistant trapezoid thread and composite collar"

KW is having a March Sale for BMW cars. I can offer you some good price to you!
