X3 KW Variant 2 Coilovers

Does anybody here actually modify their X3's? Or maybe as an attempt to fix some ride quality issues? I know the X3 is far from a racecar, but I've found suspension changes to be incredible.

I first tried eibach springs with my stock M-Sport shocks/struts and sways and the ride and handling was drastically improved, but I'm going all out with my X3 as a unique project. I picked up the KW Variant 2 coilovers and they're perfect. Comfortable when you need and incredible handling.

I actually picked up an extra set for someone who had to back out, so I have an extra new set for ridiculously cheap at the link below.

Is there anyone else who has modified the suspension on their X3? I also picked up a set of H&R swaybars. The X3 feels even better than a 3 series.

How do the coil overs respond on the X3? There are some ride issues on the car, but it does respond similar to the E46. It's definitely not my mini cooper S, but I can floor it and get out of the way fast

Sorry, took a while to make it back to this thread. I don't really know how to tell you jut how perfect the variant 2 coilovers are. More comfortable than stock and handles as good as a 3 series with a similar setup.

I'm accepting offers around my $1600 shipped price for brand new KW variant 2 coilovers! The next couple days I'll knock off $100 to make it $1500 shipped. BRAND NEW NEVER TOUCHED!
