Ride is pretty good. In reading the KW literature, the system operates at default settings for higher speeds and the adjustable settings are for lower speeds. Once I get the ride height exactly where I want it I want to dial in a little more firmness at lower speeds as it is a little rolly on undulating terrain at low speed.

Thanks, Eric! Feel free to use the pictures for your website - just obscure the license plate.

No - they are Ace Convex wheels - purchased through Eric at Nitrous - he posted just above you. They are forum sponsors and got me a great price - these are 20" x 10" wheels in a square set up for my snows.

Anyone who has KW's and isn't in love with the ride - don't be afraid to tweak your settings - two clicks can make a HUGE difference!

If you have self leveling suspension and you like the slammed look don't even bother with the spring kits. You won't be happy. The ride will deteriorate long before you get it as low as you want it.
Save your money. Trust me - I wish I had. Bought the springs and installed them, then installed KW's 6 weeks later. Ride is Ok on springs, but its just not low enough where the ride is still OK. And the ride on springs was never as good as it is right now. No new pics yet. Only went down 3/8" in the front, so very subtle change. It looks just like M3 guy's right now. Waiting for the Adams Rotors to go on, and hopefully summer wheels before new pics! If the weather continues to stay shitty, my new 40mm rear spacers may go on first.

Thanks, man - yes - its just about the last of the chrome. I will leave the roundels alone. Last bit of chrome on it which isn't attached to a roundel is the exhaust - that will likely be gone in time as well.
