Minimal lowering with KWs
When I was looking into getting coilovers I had a hard time finding photos to illustrate what my car would be like with KWs with minimal lowering. Well, here it is with a 1/2" drop in the rear and a 3/4" drop in the front (over oem sport).

Still a noticible ride difference? I want the handling of coilovers, but still dont like the ride. Its always nice, but just a bit more rough than I want to deal with. I lowered my last car and regretted it every day.

The photos are just a few days after the installation so I will see how it settles. As far as ride quality is concerned, I am just thrilled. I worried a lot that it would be too harsh. My wife used to complain about "riding in the stagecoach" when I would take her to dinner in my e46M3. The ride is more compliant and comfortable than the M3, and the handling now comes closer to that on-rails dialed in feel of the M3.
