5 Series replaced with KW Leveling suspension, Japanese bbs FS forged wheel hub

August 18, 2024

From Golf 6 to 330i, the shock absorber of kw V3 is replaced. After changing the 540i, don’t worry about it. After all, the standard axle shock absorber is a little better than the lower control of the domestic long axle. In addition, the 5-series driver, V3 shock absorber is relatively low, so it has not been replaced.
In June, I saw that kw released a KW Leveling (horizontal) shock absorber, which has the same material function as V3, that is, the barrel body is a little longer, the spring is a little longer, and the installation height is 0 to-20mm (V3 is-40 to-60mm), that is, it can maintain the height of the original car or lower the body a little bit, and maintain passability. Ah, this is the shock absorber I want. (introduce video link * *: / baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1668950125103269721&wfr=spider&for=pc) after struggling for one or three months and doing a lot of homework, I finally did it during the National Day period. In order to ensure the installation standard, I specially went to Shanghai. This modification store is a little famous in Shanghai, which happens to be close to the kw China headquarters, and it is also convenient to pick up the goods. (I asked several modification stores during the festival and all said that the KW headquarters was on holiday. You can’t get the goods until after the holiday.) Why don’t you look at the picture and talk?
Make an appointment. Nanjing will arrive in Shanghai at 10:30 in the morning. There is a big KW China sign at the gate. All the authentic kw shock absorbers in the country are sent out from here.

Kw office building around, sure enough, the holiday, no one.

Exhibition area

This is their warehouse. I’ve seen it before, and it’s full of shock absorbers.

When we arrived at the modification store, before the boss came, we had a look around. There were so many bbs wheels in an instant.

All kinds of brakes

There is also an F1 brake, which is actually a V6 engine.

Magnesium alloy wheel, quoted price of more than 70,000

There is also a lovely golden hair, the care is very clean and fragrant, it can be seen that her master pays great attention to detail.

Japanese special tools, the box is full of carbon fiber.

It is said that a set of tools is less than 100,000.

Here comes the protagonist.

There is one more black buffer than V3.

The installation position of the rear shock absorber is more troublesome, it is necessary to remove all the rear seats, and the position of the top of the rear shock absorber tower is more hidden.

Ready to start construction, the spring is a little longer than the V3 stroke to ensure height and comfort

Special tools must be used at the top of the tower

The rear shock absorber.

All you have to do is remove a screw.

The front shock absorber only needs to remove the lower screw.

Installation of front shock absorber completed

Each screw should use a special torque wrench to fight the torque according to the manufacturer’s requirements.

After installation, measure the height of the four wheels, feel a little higher, and change it twice, the height of the front and rear fingers (about lower than the original factory 20mm) damping setting is before: rebound 5 compression 7, after rebound 11, compression 9.
During the period of installation and shock absorption, I saw that the workmanship, like handicrafts, could not be compared with national forging, and it was unexpectedly in stock, hasty, gnashed my teeth, and let it be installed, a few Ws, selected a 19-inch one, the data was perfect, the die forging, the process was completely different from the national forging, and it was much lighter than the original factory.
The diamond is black.

This lid, three-dimensional gold characters, beauty

Imported tire pickling machine, fully automatic

Just bought a few months of domestic Hongxin forging, M5, 19-inch, data customization perfect match (if you are interested, you can see my previous post on this hub), without any scratches, quasi-new, no place to put it, Didi me if you need it.

All packed and tried to pay to go, this set of shock absorbers are only cool when they are on the highway, flying close to the ground, a perfect combination of comfort and control, perfect comfort, high-speed lane change, perfect roll suppression in corners, and turning corners is absolutely enjoyable. there are no unnecessary ups and downs on the bumpy road. The assessment linked above is more detailed.

When you park your car when you get home, you can’t help but look back and take a look.

Shock proof installation, the details of adjustment are not too verbose, if you need to communicate, you can Didi me.
I will first feel the shock absorber for a period of time, take a good look at the road conditions, and then send out in detail the specific difference and driving experience between V3 and V3.
