KW Coilover Rear Adjustment Help
Hi all, been a lurker for awhile now however I am running into an issue that I need to outsource some help with
I purchased a 2017 LBB M2 that had a KW Variante 3 (according to the paperwork in the trunk) installed. The rear was slammed to ~567mm with the front at ~594mm, I am looking to raise the rear to about 595. When I went to adjust, I saw no rear axle adjustment nut where the included tool from KW would fit in. Would this have been removed to achieve the aggressive rear drop or am I missing something? Any help on how to raise up the rear would be awesome. Thanks! Last edited by RecycleYourAir; 09-30-2023 at 11:58 AM.. Reason: Additional image |

Wow... Yeah there should be an adjuster at the top but whoever fitted them has not fitted that and just installed it in the standard cup that is there from the factory for the standard setup. Why they have done that who knows but i would get in touch with kw and order the required parts, should not be too expensive, and get it corrected. I run 600mm rear 595 front and sits lovely.

Thanks for the response, glad I'm not going crazy.
I did send KW an inquiry on spare parts, waiting until they get back during the week for a response. I believe that the black part was the adjustment perch but the part in their catalog is 65245226 and shows a picture with internal threads as opposed to external? https://www.kwsuspensions.com/produc...-65245226.html I believe the purple part is the spring perch with part number 65243226 but need conformation on that. https://www.kwsuspensions.com/produc...-65243226.html Thanks again for the help!

No them bits are incorrect, this is the part you need kw in the UK call it "Rear axle height adjustment (complete)" I can't find the part number unfortunately but it looks like this. get in touch with them and they will know which one specifically you need. |

FYI in case anyone runs across this issue, per KW the spring perch is part number 19102724 and they are $89.00 ea plus the shipping and taxes with a current lead time of 3-4 weeks out from Germany.
