Ride quality will suffer, warranty from KW affected, excessive stress on other suspension components, etc... KW does a lot of homework on their gear, you really should follow their recommendations.
If you don't care about performance, perhaps D2's will be a better fit. Its a budget brand Taiwanese company. Probably half the cost of KW

If you're talking about the links in the back being out of spec, then I'd imagine the air bags won't lower enough, or they would be really close to loosening up enough to disconnect. That happened to me the first time and it's not pretty. The ass-end of side that the link disconnected from basically sits on the fender. |

Certainly no risk of me pushing things that far, but I'll be wanting it as wound down as things will allow without making for horrid ride aswell as risk of damage to components/bodywork.
I looked at going down the route of airrex but couldn't let the KW V3s pass for the money I paid. Fingers x there's enough range of drop for me without having to go airrex, as already mentioned KW don't mess around when it comes to engineering the suspension setups. |

need help
hey guys im new to this forum and need to make a post before i make my own thread but ive installed the kw v3 system on my 2011 x5m and have tried factory settings and playing with settings but i cant get the car to feel right for the life of me, it always feel harsh and unbalanced.... ive seached all over the forums and read many posts but i cant seem to get it right, i cant help but think that maybe i have some bad coilovers or something...
the car is 30 in from the ground at all corners and right now im running stock 20's with winter tires. i have 22's for summer.... if anyone has any input that could help me out would be greatly appreciated after reading comments from people on this forum everyone says they ride close to stock and some say more comfortable than stock, but im nowhere near that... |

I'm mobile right now so I can't link, but search my journal from the last page working back to find the settings.
You could also search forum member jest. In his suspension thread I posted my settings there as well. |
