KW sleeve over kit is basically a cheap way to slam your car and that's it. other than being able to lower the hell out of the car, it has no benefit over any other spring kit, and is deficient to dinan.

I do agree that ohlins is a far superior setup to any of these kits. the DFV shocks are the key. they handle bumps and transitions with a precision the other kits and even OEM bmw shocks could only dream of
Absolutely, the KW sleeve kit will ride/handle no differently than just springs with shorter bump stops. Thats why I don't think it is a very good value. If I didn't go with the Ohlins I would have gotten B&G springs because I like their raked/even fender gap drop paired with E36 bump stops and shaved guide supports.
