KWv3 Coil Overs....

The gap on the RD sport drop is starting to really bug me... I'm considering the KWv3 coil-overs with the EDC module.. i really dont want to loose my edc but i've heard the ride is better then stock... i guess i'll have better handling at least... anyone other then Derrick have kwv3?

any one have any other kind of coil overs on the m5?
any input will be nice

thanks ahead
- josh

Hey Tightie check with board member GenesisMotoring. He has the Moton Clubsport coilover system in his M5.
Regarding coilovers I that at least in the Porsches the Motons are the best there is. Better than KW, H&R, Bilstein and JRZ.
I am considering the Motons myself.
From what I understand the EDC system will disabled.

Shoot GenesisMotoring a PM.

As usual the best will cost more. I believe a coilover set of Moton Clubsport with remote reservoir are about $4,500. The springs are cheap.
Contact member GenesisMotoring for specific personal experience (I hope he doesn't mind).
For the west coast guys I recommend you contact Alex at Sharkwerkes or Fabryce at GMG. They know and have worked with the Motons.

Cheers, M5Ranger...Juan
