KW H.A.S M6 Coupe

Can I please see pictures of the KW springs on their lowest setting. I’m deciding between the KW V3 coilovers or KW Spring kit.

So far no issues ... but have only driven 150 miles on this set up (weather here's been too crappy to take out) ... and I just passed my 1200 mile break in (woo hoo! ) so now I can push a bit harder

Quite pleased with the ride and feel so far (normal driving with about 200 miles on springs). Could be me but maybe just a bit more firm - but for the most part almost identical to the stock springs... and you still retain control of dynamic damper settings.

Contact golan@autotalent.com or PM him here in the forum to get best price - he did me good.

I like the gold barrel and hardware - matches nice with your carbon ceramic brake calipers.

Question: have you had any excessive noise from your CCB's? I came from an AMG C63s that had the CCB brakes and they were soooo darn loud (louder than a school bus or semi!!!) that I had to get rid of that lame car (super annoying). Only reason I didn't get CCB's this time ... wondering if you had any issues with excessive noise. Thanks!

Thanks! That's what I was going for!

I really haven't had that issue. I know there are owners with CCBs out there that have. Lots of threads talk about it in this forum.

Thanks (sorry for the delayed response)... lucky you on the brake noise. I really liked the CCB's as there was virtually no brake dust. But it's a hit or miss on getting noise it appears. Mine started after car got rear ended. Brakes and rotors were replaced all the way around too and still did it.

Here's a couple links to some videos with the brake noise I was encountering for anyone interested in the noise these CCB's make - and it's LOUD!!.

My springs did settle a bit after initial install - somewhere around a 1/4 inch.

I have no noise with mine also , you really have to keep them clean , hit them really good with a pressure washer and they will stay quiet , it tells you this in the manual, if I’m in hours of stop and go traffic my rears will make some noise but it’s very minimal, no worse than any other hi performance brake system
