KW Street Comfort vs KW V3

[Liv2Golf]

Thinking of improving my F10 ride and handling. Price difference between these 2 around $1k.

Anyone on these can provide some feedback pls.

I transport family of 4 and a maid, don't drive fast and no track. My needs are improve handling, and reduce body roll and most importantly do not wish to scratch undercarriage over MSCP and there must not be squeaking noise from the shocks and suspension.

Don't care much about lowering too much as long as the above are met.

Advice appreciated. Thanks

KWV3 rocks, many of F10 bros are on V3 including me...so far I have 4 person sitting at the rear seat, no rubbing so far

Alternatively, do consider AC or H&R springs, it gives you the look and help with the handling n body roll too.

Can street comfort fits F10?

KW V3 .... the answer is obvious. besides, the difference is only $1K which is worth it for long term investment
one set of good coilover can last for at least 100k milleage
it's better to mod once and do it right ... instead of dekit and upgrade (waste time waste money)

1k is actually 33% the price difference.
But always use what is tested and proven, v3.
I tot sc was for e60 only.

What's the damage? Beside to replace the stock suspension, do ve have to sacrifice any feature on the normal drive mode, sport mode or sport+ mode?

Re: KW Street Comfort vs KW V3

Was quoted $4050 + $350 for alignment and installation. It's compatible to adaptive suspension

If you have edc, you need the edc delete module for your KW coilover. You will still keep the dynamic driving control (throttle, gear shift and steering weight etc).

AFAIK if your ride is from PML, only 550i has edc(adaptive drive).

Since your 523i does not have edc, you can change your suspension without any worries. Nothing is affected except you get the benefits of coilover.

My ride is not lowered. I am considering the cheaper option of using lowering springs, haven't find one day free to get it done. I am on 20" wheels and it is pretty flush with fender so it will look better lowered.

Re: KW Street Comfort vs KW V3

Sy3 and I both on KW V3. Well worth the price. No sound, creaking or rubbing. Comfort level can be set from extreme hard to really comfy... all with just Allen Key provided. Once dekit, can easily sell. Difference 1k but after u sell, probably 500.

Your price also look on the high side. I managed to get mine below 3500 inclusive installation.

You mean using Allen key one can easily access the V3 without having to jack the car up?
