thanks for the post！how's the ride difference compare with the stock suspension? is it worth to lose the electronic damping system?
The dampening is much better/controlled than the stock setup ( stock ones look so cheap when you compare to the KW). The turn in and general handling characteristics are far better. Ride is still very firm but can adjust this to your liking (within reason as the springs are still firm).
Rear end traction is much better, the car has a DTE chip so runs about 435KW and 825NM and I was getting very bad axel hop/wheel tramp and it was terrible to drive, the coilovers have improved this significantly. I don't miss the comfort/sport/sport+ as they were all bad in in my opinion ! You can still switch between settings but it only changes the traction/ESP now, there are modules supplied that cancel out any error codes. Bang or your buck is questionable as it's not a cheap conversion, but cheaper then selling the car and losing $$ I guess
