Shops ask an exorbitant fee like just to get DRLs done it’s $350.

That is looking gorgeous!

The stance is nutty lol. How much stiffer is the KW v1 vs OEM?

Also what made you choose the gloss black F lip instead of the CF one? I'm looking at the Suveneer CF one..

Yeah, I had that same issue. One of the shops I was dealing with was charging by “book time”. That’s prob how that shop came to the $350 quote.

Suspension install + alignment $875
Suspension install + alignment $400

That’s the difference on one install for reference. Def change shops and find one that charges correctly.

Yeah a lot of shops have started book timing everything. When indies become just as bad as the stealerships.

Thanks brother! The OEM shocks and run flats are garbage. Now it rides like it’s on air,so even tho it might be more firm then stock I can’t even tell. It takes bumps so much better.

The Suveneer lip is awesome. I almost bought one for my last car,they offered me one for $3xx shipped to promote it. But I sold the car. My last car had CF and I wanted to do a white/gloss black setup on this one. Gloss black pops harder on white than CF imo. The only other advantage is i don’t care if I break my front lips anymore. This lip was $250,I have 2 extras at my house already lol - When I spend $700-1000 on a CF front lip I’m paranoid all the time about destroying it since all my cars are slammed.

It’s bullshit tbh,the book pricing is getting out of hand. Even hourly charges ain’t cheap. I use to try and be shop “loyal” and now I don’t care. If you overcharge me on a quote. I’m out

Im jelly.. Currently, the ride currently tho smooth, is bouncy lol.
I'll have to decide between the KW v1 or the EVO SE as another forum user posted.

Currently looking for a set of nice forged concave wheels. I am trying to look for used ones but its hard finding a set with Xdrive specs and ones that actually look nice.
Have you seen / heard of Edelweiss ?

Agreed. I like your lip since it does not have the wing on the end (is it a Maxton design?).
The only dislike about them is the gap right in the middle. I dont get why Maxton does this lol.

I’ve seen a few people on instagram run them and they look nice. Most of these companies who sell forged wheels can make them custom,so you can pick your offsets. I almost gave the EVO’s a chance,but after some research they didn’t go anywhere near as low as the V1’s which was a deal breaker for me. Otherwise they are a great coilover for the money
