NP! I'm happy with them so far.

As I mentioned above, I am very pleased with KW S/O so far. They are not the perfect race setup, but that was not there intended purpose. Sorry, not following you? CWB?

Testing KW S/O at Motorsports Ranch (3.1) this past weekend.
The newly installed KW S/O performed better than I expected this past weekend. Although, there was a slight squirmish feeling in the rear on high G corners, the rear tires was always planted and it never felt skitish. I was able to run a 2:31:590 this weekend at MSR Cresson, my last session. I have no time comparisons as this weekend was also my first time at this track.
I was bumped from Blue to Yellow the 1st day and so got the chance to evaluate the corner balancing by running solo the 2nd day. I can say that the cornering grip with this setup is a definate improvement over the Eibach springs. I was able to explore the limits of the NT01's (requires a 5 mm spacer up front), which felt planted at all times. I did end up lowering a total of 0.6 in in front and 0.75 in rear more than the Eibach springs after settling. The combination of increased lowering, corner balancing and increased spring rates all contributed to the improvements noted.

Thanks! MSR Cresson was lots of fun!
I did notice after my last session, that the NT01's rub on inside of inside against the KW S/O kit up front. A pair of 5 mm spacer on fronts is all that is needed to prevent this rubbing.

Before and After Track pics w/ KW Sleeve kit
The 1st pic is with Eibach Pro-kit and 2nd pic is with KW Sleeve kit set approx 2 turns from lowest setting. Same wheels and tires in both pics.
The total lowering over OEM (non-EDC) is approx 1.0 inch front and rear and approx 0.6 inch and 0.75 inch front and rear over Eibach Pro-kit.

Thanks! I was skeptical from what I had read, but overall it did well and I am very pleased. I will more than likely step up to full KW coil overs when the the EDC dampeners wear out. But these serve my intended purpose for now.

my goal up until now was to be one of if not the fastest stock brake and suspension m3s at my track. not sure how im doing but i am pushing the boundary of what is stock. i still have stock rotors, calipers and dampers so think that counts?

mostly just a way to save money and prevent the inevitable. BBK, coilovers, half cage, seats, and who knows it never ends.

Isn't that the truth. The modding bug can last a very long time!

Thanks! I am very pleased with ride quality. Since the install, I raised the fronts 2 turns (0.2") to achieve a more level stance.
