KW coilovers V3 with edc questions
Anyone have kw coilovers v3 with edc? I'm looking for some reviews or feedback, I tried looking for reviews for the coilovers with edc but was unsuccessful. From what I've read about the v3s is that they're a bit stiffer than sport setting on edc (stock).
A bit about my car/situation..I use the car as a daily driver but plan to tracking it (twice a month) and often go on windy weekend drives. I'm looking for something good on the track but also something similar to stock on the streets. I live in San Francisco so very shity road conditions and hilly so I'm not looking to lower the car much. I have an e92 m3 with akrapovic full exhaust and ess vt-600 supercharger getting installed this week. Along with the increased power I'm looking to beef up the suspension and get wider wheel. (19in bbs ch-r). Is the extra cost for the kw v3 with edc worth it? What kind of settings does the edc offer (and can you use the stock edc button)? Any feedback would be helpful |

Like others have mentioned and linked to earlier, the "EDC" version of the V3's comes with electronic modules to defeat the EDC error code. On my E90, I just coded out the EDC from the ECU, so I bought the non-EDC V3's.
I drive into SF a lot. I have my V3's set to 12 all around (18 is full soft) and the ride comfort is pretty decent. It's comparable to the comfort EDC setting. The type of roads where the ride can be a little harsh are the ones where you're going 30-40 mph and there are a lot of consecutive small bumps. But for the majority of the roads in SF, the ride is pretty good, especially at my low ride height (lowered 1.5" F, 1.2" R). Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I'm tempted to go softer, but I don't want to end up with too much body roll in corners. Oh yeah, the turn-in and handling of the car improves too.

I'm thinking seriously about putting a set of KW v3s on the car and thought I would bump this thread.
My two goals are to improve the ride height a bit, but I'm also looking to make the car more settled, especially over rough patches of road. I had KW v3s on my Mini and was always amazed at how the seemingly improved handling but also made the ride more compliant. The M3 ZCP suspension is amazing, but the harshness over sudden bumps and the instability over rough patches makes me wonder if I could do better with a set of KWs. It seems most opt for the Clubsports, but they seem to be designed for heavy track use I can't justify those. Just hoping to hear from people regarding how the KW v3s feel compared to stock ZCP in (1) daily driving scenarios and (2) at the track. Also, how difficult is it to modify the trunk liner to be able to access the adjustments on the top of the rear struts for frequent adjustments (such as before and after a track day)? |
