Nice signature photos for your 2 babies, Jacky.

ICIC will also be having the KWV3, I think he'll have his soon. Wait for his and cwong's reviews. Hehe. But KWV3 is a sure win. Not need to say more. I would have swap to that if I wasn't so thrifty.

RR80 bro. Can you share your experience on Porcede. Just want to know. My car has NA engine and no turbo, therefore BMS power box is only choice now.

BTW, you traded in your 335 to BMW or private sold?

Seriously, I think for me:
1) Steel brake lines
2) Ceramic brake pads
3) Switch to PSS or S04PP
4) Swiss Chiptech
5) new rims

I ran procede v5 on my 335i for after year, no problem at all. Very smooth and powerful! The good thing for the procede is you can change map while I am driving and can go back stock map for valet parking or giving my wife for driving(I believe JB4 can also do this).

I private sold my 335i for very reasonable price because I need to sell it in hurry for my 535i.

Cwong, no worry. I'm pretty sure that KW V3 on f10 will be better than Bilstein or at least they are similar, since f10 with longer wheel base...

But if you compare with suspension itself, nothing can compare with v3. 3 friends of mine driving the same cayman S on a track day, but using 3 diff suspension of v3, pss10 and Sachs, respectively. V3 won all the way

Yes, 2-3 weeks lead time. But now already 2-3 weeks, time past so fast and busy lately. Will give them a call tomorrow and see if there's any schedule?
Of cause, will post review and especially for you RC, you seems like the v3 so badly..
