FS: KW V3 coilovers for C63

Hi all, this coilovers have been on my car for about 500km. almost brand new. no leaks / no damages. paid 3k for it here in Vancouver. Will let go at $2000 CAD.

Prefer to sell locally, but will ship if no local interests.

I am only selling this because i find it too stiff and it would be a waste if i don't go to tracks.

Do you find it a lot stiffer than the stock C63 suspension?

They're fully adjustable. Why not just adjust the dampening, and rebound till you find a ride you like?

I nave the H&R Coilover that are only height adjustable, and it rides MUCH better than stock. The V3's set correctly should be a beast at the track.

I tried setting it to the softest setting and still find it much stiffer than stock... I now have stock on the car and find it more suitable for me. people who tracks will love this coilovers.

i guess my track / drag era has gone.....

you adjust the damper and rebound settings and still find it too stiff? I find it softer than stock when going full soft.

+1 i also have the KW'S and also find the to be softer then stock unless you put them under load, and that point you want them to be stiff.

Break -in Time?

Any new suspension components will be overly stiff during the first few hundred kms. I would suggest that you put at least another 500 kms on the KWs and then make your decision. Just my 2cts. Hope that it helps.

weird I find it still too stiff even at softest setting. maybe I didn't adjust the rebound setting correctly. That maybe explains why I feel the car would go up and down twice everytime it goes over a bump. made me dizzy....

in any case, I have already taken it out of the car. so it is still for sale !!

Just last Thursday I ordered a KW V3 set. It should be here next week. I paid just over $2500 US. If I had waited, I would have taken them off your hands.

shipping + duty + brokerage fee + HST to Canada isn't cheap. that was why i paid 3k for the set here in Vancouver.

good to live in the States where everything is relatively cheap~

I know exactly what you mean. I sold mine KW2 only after 2 weeks installed on mine Clk500. For some reason, I adjusted to the softest setting and it was still stiffer then stock suspension even after 2 weeks break-in.

You think it isn't worth it if you dont track your car? I have been debating this for sometime I have heard such good things about coilovers.

Me too, Ive heard great things about them to but here is my take on them.

If the car is driven on the street 90% of the time with light track duties I would go with H&R coilovers since they are only height adjustable.

I really don't see a point why you would need to adjust the dampening and rebound if your mostly driving the car on the streets. If you go to tracks then I think the KW's are worth it.

I should have known this about myself, but I simply miss having the option to change my settings... My DD is a 2000 maxima with 4-way adjustable kyb-agx shocks and I used to play with them quite a bit... Settled down now but I miss having that ability
Will i track? Probably not but it's easier to have the option and not use it, rather than not have it and wish you did
