I purchased this kit from vividracing and used it for about a yr before trading my car in. I have the two front coilovers/sleeves and the two links for the rear. Perfect condition. $700 OBO.

 

why would anyone want to lower their car?

 

I think you should give it a try! Had my cls63 lowered and put some hre's on about 5 days ago , I was skeptical at first but after a few days to get used to it I love it now.

 

eball, how would you describe the difference in the ride?
did u use the KW set to lower.....oh and we need pics (if u Havent already)

 

Do you know if this kit can be installed on a W212 E63?

 

LOL

Does lowering your car ......... make it lower?

 

On Jettas, yes. But only on the West Coast!

 

West Coast Jettassssssssss Where you at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Another assault from the M5 crew.....when will it end?

KWs can also be used to raise your CLS allowing it to take on snow drifts more efficiently than Hype's ride.

 

I had the sleeve kit on my car and loved it. I wouldn't call anything I do assault. Unless you count that one time Vic and I went camping in the woods and the heat in our cabin went out, and we had to huddle together for heat.

 

dude really, public forum.............


I hate your mummy bag

 

I didnt see this part...and now my week has been made!

 

You mean Hype's week was made

 

when I get home from vacation my new mud tires should be in....

 

i love it.....im gonna start infiltrating the f10bimmerpost forum with the "e/cls63 army"

 

That's fine by me. We have some good tunes for your W212, exhaust systems, whatever you need. Like two cherished minds of American history once said:

- Give us any chance, we'll take it...give us any rule, we'll break it....

 

pertplus - lavernne
vic - shirley

?
nice

 

What he said...?

 

whoh, this thread is officially retarded now

 

I wasnt sure if Pert was serious or not but Ill answer:

The kit is the same for the CLS and the E63- I used the same part numbers for my E63 and CLS63.

To the OP sorry for muddying it up here- let me know if you want me to clean it up. You did get a bunch of bumps to the top no doubt

 

Vic: I see many options out there to lower the CLS. How would you rate this kit? What is the difference with all of them and how does the kit interface with the airmatic?
Sorry for the newb questions. I do not want to substantially affect the quality of the ride but looking to lower the car when I get new wheels.

 

STFF!!!!!!!!!!!!


Haaaaaaa I kid- but I have posted on this alot actually. The KW's are tremendous. Their sleeve with progressive springs have the best spring rate set up Ive found for the front (you cant do the rear of course). The rates create a very reasonable compression and rebound with basic undulations while a more stiff feel at speed and into higher speed turns and bends. I liken the springs to stiffer when needed and softer when needed than the stock steel ones. The best part is the ability to adjust the height to what YOU want vs being stuck with a fixed height.

You can go with H&R too but they dont have ride height adjustment or the spring rates associated with the KW's. If I get another M157 with fatmatic in the rear and springs in the front Ill get the KW's all over again.

 

rears height adjustable too, or is it just fronts?

 

Man do you read my posts for the past two years?

The rears are adjustable via the airmatic system- you can either spend a lot and get a module or use links. The module will allow to raise it and lower at will, the links will allow you to set it but it takes more work to adjust it.

There is no KW part for the rear- the kit comes with an adapter which you use to replace the rear stock link and it will bring the car down. For some its too much and others its not enough. For my CLS it wasnt enough so we made a quick adjustment to lower the car more to level out with the front. For the E- the link lowered the rear too much so again we adjusted it to level it out with the front.

 

how does one get the module? is that a Mercs direct part

i think thats what the weistec guys were telling me about then at Merc madness how they lowered their car with their own design front spring and the rear just followed to the proper height....

what was interesting is that they were running M5 size stock tires on the car, which is over 3% change in overall diameter to our stock....looked great..but dont knwo what issues that may have......for another thread
