KWV3 | Brembo GT BBK Installed
Just have the KWV3 and Brembo GT BBK front brakes 6-piston with 405mm x 32mm 2-piece drilled rotors installed.
Thanks for the advices and inspirations from Cali members- Kelvin, Alex, Jason & Luigi, Hong Kong members- icic & cwong. These gears are just excellent.

Thanks guys.

The car is very different with the KWV3 as the guys' reviews mentioned. Very comfortable like stock. Compared to my previous set up with stock shocks and H&R springs, it absorbs the road imperfections much, much better now. Cornering is way better and I can gun through corners much faster now. Braking has less nose dive. It's just great and a worthy investment. I'm with the out of the box setting now and will set up a bit stiffer later For the Brembo, I have not really tested them out yet with hard braking. But it's much more responsive in comparison to the stock. Thanks Jason. You are my inspiration, bro. Thanks for the tips too.

I noticed if you get on the brakes quickly to about 50% of the pedal range ABS kicks in real quickly with the brembos. At the track this summer with the stock brakes I could stomp on them almost all the way to bring the car down to manageable speeds into the corners.
Alex he went with the 405s as mentioned in the first post

I guess to really test out the Brembo, have to track the car. You plan to track your car again, Jason? Thanks Calvin.

Hi bro,
I was thinking of getting KW coilover for my F10 528, but not sure which suits best for Macau road condition because I wanted to lower my car with max comfort, I am looking for V2 or Street Comfort, please give me some advice? thx |

Macau's road condition should not be worse than Hong Kong so if KWV3 works here you should have no worries. I think KW has only released the V3 for the F10 and no V2, Street Comfort and others yet. You can enquire the dealer there.
