19" BBS FI + KW Sleeve over kit

X5-User · 08-22-2015, 11:04 AM

Good afternoon,

I am looking for some advice here and hopefully someone who had this setup before can chime in..

I am running BBS FI 19" with 275/295 Hankook v12 on stock suspension (no rubbing whatsoever) but the gap has increased from stock 19 wheels and it is bothering me and I need a drop to adjust it.

I have done researched with mixed reviews. Some say I will rub and some say I wont with KW sleeve over kit.

Anyone can help me with this? will I start rubbing if I get the car a bit lowered with KW sleeve over kit?

Fyi.... Kw sleeve kit ride worsens the lower you go. Definitely go with V1 or V3.

I am just looking to lower the car that's all. My OEM suspension is great for my needs.

I have H&R springs. They will be coming off shortly. Some say they're harsh, I'm not experiencing that.

If you're only worry is "rubbing", i would get them. They are adjustable, therefore you can go moderate or slam. A spring you won't be able to adjust.

Thanks. That's why I am considering only KW sleeve kit

I just installed them and love them. Takes maybe 30 mins to lower or raise my car. Allowed me to keep edc. A little stiff but cars feel much more planted
