UPDATED PAGE 1-Lowering via KW with rear air susp.

[jst2878]

So far I have installed the front KW coilovers resulting in a 2.25inch drop from standard height. I used Kmac front camber kit which consists of a new strut tower that adjusts for more positive camber to prevent inner wheel wear. The rear has not been done yet since i have to bring it to bmw for the lowering via computer. here are some pics of the front

These three new pics are after a free height adjustment from BMW.. its only 1.5 inch but I will put in the new rear suspension and then go back and lower the rear another 1.5inch so it is even with the front. Hopefully next two weeks I will get some really tasteful pics up. Enjoy!

I do hope you mean more negative camber otherwise you will be getting some dire understeer. Same for the rears, thats why BMW gave the car so much rear negative camber.

To improve handling you need to match the front camber more in line with the rears. If our only concern is tyre wear then fine, but I suspect you will suffer some bad handling and excessive outer front tyre wear from the wheels tucking under if in fact you did add positive camber.

Awesome! Do you have a picture zoomed out? I'd really like to see the before/after when you've gotten the rear electronically lowered too! Great job.

cost of the front coilovers was 1350. I believe you can get the set from KWDirect
