I recall that there was a member running these and claimed that they were a special order for the C43. I researched them and they are not a special order and readily available for the C43. I debated on giving up my Koni/Vogtland setup but after reading many reviews, this is one of those cases that you get what you pay for. Subpar build quality as well as a terrible ride quality. There's a reason that they're priced far lower than any other comparable kit.

Just saw they don't have TÃœV approval. I would walk on this one as decent suspension parts should be OE or TÃœV approved, specially for security related parts IMHO

How much do KW's run and are they worth the coin? I had them on my E36 M3 and I wasnt impressed for the money. Quality was ok, but the ride was still a little bouncy no matter the settings. Maybe need custom spring rates.
