KW v2 Suspension Installed
Got my KW v2s installed yesterday and got all the adjustments done so that it's sitting level. Need to do a alignment and a corner balance still. But holy crap the f10 is easy to put coilovers on. I've done quite a few other cars and this one was definitely the easiest.
Anyways mods are pretty much done. I've got to do a catless DP still and I want to wrap the roof black. Those who are low, who has adjustable swaybar links for the f10? Anyways, here's a iPhone photo. |

haha YES!
same here! when i installed the coilovers i just did it in the garage with some hand tools and jacks. the shop over here wanted $125 hr for 8 hours! granted i don't have EDC which made it easier i believe! got a side shot? how flush are your wheels sitting? funny thing is and i'm wondering if you feel the same but to me i don't feel like when i drive the car that i'm even lowered?

It definitely rides like stock surprisingly except with less body roll and lest squat and dive on acceleration and braking. I have the dampening at 9 clicks of 18 total front and rear. So I could go softer or firmer.
Here are some side shots. I like how the rear sits, might try for some bigger front spacers. Wheel specs are: Front: 20x8 et40 with a 10mm spacer. 245/35/20 Rear: 20x10 et30. 285/30/20 |

I was under impression that F10's require removal of rear seats in order to access rear suspension parts, is it true? Why was it so easy? Thanks.

Yup! I just lifted the foam piece or rubber piece out of the way. Just make sure to use a plastic tool to remove the cover. Gotta give Bmwdoubles credit for the video he made
