KW V3 noise

08z4mroadster · 05-17-2015, 07:14 PM

Hi All

Does any Z4M owner has experience with KW V3 making noise while you driving or passing speed bump?

Define the noise. Creaking, whoosh from air, thump, bump, etc.

They are nosier than stock suspension. Did you tighten the end links tight enough? That will make a thump sort of sound at low speed and over bumps.

End links, play in fcab, rear shock mounts...

Thanks All,

Comparing with KW V3 and BILSTEIN PSS10 now. KW doing 22% off special at my local dealer now. It's cheaper than PSS10 in here, but i like the BILSTEIN that adjustable dampening knobs from the bottom.

If price is the same, the KW V3 would that be better value than BILSTEIN?

Thanks for all answer.
