Lowering C63 with coilovers questions
I am considering getting KW V3, will I need a camber kit to correct the camber when lowered?
also do KW v3 come with adjustable top mounts where I can change the caster/camber settings?
I want a drop, but I also dont want to ruin the handling as I still track my car, so I wanted to check if there is anything else I should install when I install coilovers!

so bumping this thread real quick so i dont make another coilover thread.
I ordered KW v3 from vivid the other day...process was a breeze and Arsha is great to work with!
Has anyone done a DIY install? How hard is it. I've done coilovers on Hondas and they werent too bad, but I'm sure this is more complicated.
also I got quoted for a shop install of around 350, good price?
lastly, how do I determine how much lowering I want? (i havent got the kit yet, will it be in the instruction?)
thank you all

From what I've heard when I had my ride height adjusted, any tweak to the suspension for coilovers require the entire thing to be disassembled to adjust the height. Then you have to put everything back and let it settle before you get a true idea of the ride height. If you don't have the expertise or equipment, I would definitely pay to have it done. And the KW V3 is probably more complex than my suspension.

hmm thanks for the advice guys, i may end up having the shop do it then...the only bad thing is seems like shops around me cant accommodate for 2 weeks! And i recieve the coils tomorrow....I'll look around some more. so just to clarify, once they are mounted, the front height cannot be changed but the rears can?
