OK guys. Installed the KW V3's with EDC delete along with the comp pack anti roll bars front and back. All I have to say is amazing. The car is dropped just over an inch and the ride is indeed firmer but I would say like when you put the stock suspension on sport mode. Handles great. Haven't noticed any body roll or anything. I also changed out the control arms and thrust arms plus bushing to the updated 2014 setup and all these things combined make for an excellent driving experience. I was able to snap a few pics really quick of the drop. Here you go..

Looks really good! On the KW adjustments, could you have lowered it more, or is that the maximum drop?

Did you make adjustments to the KWs, or did you keep the default setup? How hard is it to adjust the tops of the rear struts?

I put the damper's to the middle settings all around and I adjusted the height.... I might lift the rear up a quarter inch more because I have a Sound system in my trunk that weigh's 80lb's and I had to remove it to install the suspension..

any plans on ECU?
Manhart? Or are you waiting for Dinan?

I've wanted the manhart maxed out tune since it came out. The only thing holding me back is if anything happens you have to send out your ECU over seas and wait. If they had a local(national) dealer I would have done it by now. Manhart is proven over and over again. That's def the way to go. For their top of the line stage you need downpipes, intakes and full exhaust. If you have all those you just pay for the tune and their boost boxes. You aren’t happy with the BMS tune?

I'm happy with BMS, putting summer tires back on next week, going to dyno my car at dynojet right after.
I've seen a lot of Manhart M6 races, this tune looks very proper.
I don't think Manhart unlocks the top speed limiter, that's why I'm staying with BMS. Keeping BMS unless someone unlocks the top speed limiter (I have a faith in Dinan).

Thank you Jason...Yes, I will be putting the audio back. It's just not the same without it... although I will say I don't miss the extra 80lbs in my trunk. sometimes I ponder not putting it back in because of that fact but it sounds to good so I can't leave it out... I never thought I was going to like the M Performance alcantara wheel but I really do and that's a big surprise... adds a nice touch to the interior.

Looks awesome, Hunter. Supposed to get my door handles, side markers and front reflectors painted body color this week along with completely blacking out the grills. Still waiting on wheels (3+ more weeks I am sure).

Your M6 is definitely one to look up to!
