I have seen pics of 325's with kw's, but no 318is pics. Would love to see some! Also if anyone is running IE stage 3's, I would love to see your car. I am panning on getting IE 3's, but I'm still looking...

Cheers,
Art

Theres a guy on r3v thats running 55,55 on his 86 (i think) 318... they're pretty sweet...

I've heard good things... Im actually wanting to run KW 55,35s but they're quite expensive... Im still debating whether or not to leave my H&R sports, or go lower...

Where do you buy the KW's?

I run 35/35 KW's for about a year know and love them. for sporty street use this is the best suspension available in my opinion. I live in holland close to the border in germany and they weren't that expensive over there.

i know they lack firmness setting etc. but i don't miss it for street use.

I ordered them here:

Search for Ove Kvam's website as he has KWs. They are very similar to the H&Rs I have installed too - see my site for pics.

I currently have KW springs and Bilstein sports on my car. Previous owner installed, so not sure of the specs. Ride is firm in spirited driving but not annoying on trips. I highly reccomend this setup, even though ride hight is a bit low.

Any chance that you could get under the car and let us know if there are any markings / part #'s on the springs?

Unfortunately, the car is so low I can't get under it, but when my new shock mounts come in I'll have it up on jackstands and I'll take a look.

EDIT: I had it up this weekend, and it doesn't have KW's. previous owner didn't give the right name, wonder what else may be different

...

Turns out these are APEX springs. I got pics, I'll upload them when I get off my lazy behind

I have a kw 55/35 kit.

It handles so well but i want the back lower. Hmmm. Might try get a set of 55 springs for the back.
