H&R Springs Vs KW V3

[xero200]

Anyone lowered their F10 with either H&R Springs or the KW V3? I know most owners of F10 are looking at comfort and would not do much to their ride, but I'd like to hear the opinions of those who's done it. Thanks!

are normal springs compatible with the dynamic dampers?

 

[xero200]

Hmmm...that's a good question Paul! From what I've been reading from the F10 forum, it seems a number of F10 owners have either gone H&R (majority cause it's cheaper too) or KWV3. I'm not sure about the compatibility part! I did hear from the local guys that they've done F10 for H&R...

Did you guys get any feed back for the above? I'm looking to get the car lowered a little to take the "I'm a wannabe 4wd" gap in between the tires and the fender.

I'm on Eibach ProKit and after a month on them, they've been FANTASTIC! They are a tad softer than H&R springs, and I suspect very close to RD Springs (not sold anywhere here). As for KWV3s...they are the ultimate but since my intentions are not tracking, they would not be fully utilized...

Mana beli bro ? How much and how long did it take them to install it? I'm gonna try and get all these done within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Hopefully for sh*ts and giggles, put the front lip on as well.

Did the rims together with the eibach prokit at Hup Shun Sunway. The eibach prokit for F10's about RM 1200. H&R about the same price but the drop is more significant.

Overseas forum seem to give RD springs the best review, as RD springs have specific model for the models with variable dampers

Thanks...so far as much as I've seen are reviews on H&R and Eibach. But the more I read, I will put off the lowering until I'm out of warranty. Then I will change the shocks and the springs at the same time.

Apparently all the other spring makers use the same spring for both normal and variable suspension but only RD has the different model.

Bro, what are your thoughts on the suspension set up whereby only the springs are changed and the shocks not, how will this affect the durability and life of the standard shock?

I think if you have family, H&R will be a shade too hard for them. I've read in some forums that aftermarket springs will last a good 2-3 years before you need to change them together with the absorbers....I'm thinking I'll use the Eibachs for a good 3 years and switch to KWV3! I saw some pics of a F11 from Thailand with a really nice KWV3 setup....
