not only that but I also need to replace all bumper stops, dust shields and set screws! Off to ordering more parts $$$ hope they available in US.
If not I will be missing Bimmerfest and I hate that, my gf already told me she's not coming with me so I would be double upset

Interesting. I wonder if the previous owner just had these too low, below the KW spec.

absolutely lower then specs, I'm not even sure how they were abused, I assume pretty bad!
I'm planning to raise the hight to 30.5" all around and have rebound and compression settings to Kimo's recommendations!

That's surprising to see. I ran my KW V3s lower (29.5) and for good 12 months and had no such failure. Guess I was lucky!
