Has anyone experienced both KW-V3 and PSS10?
Just wondering if anyone here has experienced both the KW V3 and PSS10 on their Z4M?
I have the KW V3 currently and have driven on them for about 500 miles. Maybe I'm just getting older, but they seem to be a bit too stiff to me now. Handling is very good for a street car, but I'm thinking about switching to the PSS10 if the ride is more comfortable and performance is still good enough when I turn up the settings. |

Also interested in the answer to this but would also like thoughts on PSS10 compared to stock and how the three compare when it comes to handling characteristics.

I hope this isn't useless information but I had KWV1 on a Non-M E86 and Bilstein PSS coilovers on an e46.... my personal experience....granted different cars was that the V1 rode better. I blew a strut on the PSS coil overs. I had over 60K on the KWS maybe about 40K ok the Bilsteins. I feel if the KWS held up better on a more stiff and rigid chassis then you're probably better off with them.

No experience with V3 but I did have KW V1 on my e90 before and now have ST X (same as V1) on the 3.0si convertible.
One thing I am noticing for sure is that it takes more than 500 miles to break it in and feel how it will actually perform. If it was me I'd wait until you put at least 1000-1500 miles on them, then adjust the height to your liking, then do alignment and corner balance and then play with rebound/compression until desired result. With limited experience that I had with variant 1 I had always enjoyed the ride a lot, it is firm but comfortable enough for daily use. My understanding is that V3 can be setup even softer than factory tuning of the V1s. And I am sure you already know that tires/wheels will also make quite a bit of difference. Alignment is extremely important too. Hope this helps. |
