I know this an old thread but wondering if you still are using the kw sleeves and your still happy with them? Thinking about pulling the trigger on a set. But I'm rubbing now but minimal so I'm afraid of even more of rubbing?

Yes, I'm still on KW S/O's and very happy with them. I have over 3,000 miles and 8 track days on them. The ride is very comfortable and grip on track exceptional with EDC in sport mode. My lap times have improved an average of 1-2 seconds over the Eibach sport springs.

Is its roughly 1/2" higher on the driver side to compensate for you being in the car right?

We corner balanced with 140 lbs, so the drivers side is approx 3/16" higher than the passenger side without anyone in car.

I'm thinking about the KW adjustable springs or the Ground Control Coilover conversion kit with camber plates. I have the EDC systems and would like to keep it. Track the car about 12 times a year. What if any difference with either set up???

Thanks ortho281, for your reply. I've read that there were problems with the GC plates and the studs breaking under less than the required 14 lbs. of torque. Since my wife tracks this E92 M3 with me and I'm currently running GC plates in my E39 M5, I may still go with them as along as the problems have been resolved. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

I was under the impression that the only way corner balancing is worth it is if you can adjust the rebound/compression of each individual corner. You can't do those with the S/O kit can you?
Teach me, for I am willing to learn. |

Adjusting the rebound and compression is changing the characteristics of the dampeners to maintain tire adhesion over bumpy sections, under braking, cornering and hard acceleration by controlling up and down movement of the spring and tire. Although both corner balancing and adjusting compression/rebound both affect tire adhesion, one is affecting the force of tire pushing down on ground and the other is trying to keep the tire on the ground as much as possible for the given road conditions. |

Are you running spacers?
I just ordered the KW S/O kit myself. I noticed you were running the 19" OEM 220 wheels at some point. Did you run them with the S/O kit? And if so, did you use spacers? I had ordered some spacers (12" / 15") which I was going to use with the Spec R springs, but ordered the S/O setup instead. I am wondering if they may be too much if i drop too far. I like how your car looks. Ive had my M for 2 weeks now. Love it.

does this actually improve handling vs. the stock suspension? what about without the camber plates? i have an opportunity to get my hands on one but do not want to throw away all that R&D M has done on the stock setup.

Thanks!
Good question! I saw a 2-3 sec improvement in my lap times with the KW S/O corner balanced, over previous Eibach pro-kit at three different tracks. I realize this is not a direct comparison to the stock set up, but 2-3 seconds is quite a bit. Also, because of its adjustability, it is very important to set up correctly, corner-balance and lower equally front/rear for track use!
