kW v1 vs v2

Hey guys, debating on which of the two coils to
get. I want to lower the car and get rid of the horrible wheel gap. So which would you guys suggest? I drive in the canyons a lot and want to start tracking my car. Currently on the oem 17's(for now)

The V2 would be a better choice for you. If you intend to track the rebound adjustability would be helpful, just at a cost.

The plus from the V2 is that you have the option to adjust the damping which is very important for suspension upgrade. with 16 click of rebounce adjustment, you will find the best setting for street road.

Before your canyon drive, you can adjust to stiffer rebounce to improve the handling. :-)

Let me know if you would like a quote.

I looked up the difference on both, I heard it will throw codes if I don't get edc? Is this true?

It's an oem 17 328i, I'm a newbie so IDK? So i looked up the vin number, and it doesn't show DHP anywhere, so does that mean I can order the coils without EDC and i'll be fine? Or will it through a light or code? Sorry for the nooby question just want to make sure what i'm ordering will work. Thanks

If your vehicle does not have DHP, that will be very easy swap. I have my KW v2 for almost 2 years, now it's still running extremely smooth.
