Recently had a set of KW V3 coilovers installed by Evasive Motorsport who I trust as they did all the work on my GTR
The handling is pretty amazing. I drove two M3P cars with two different brands of aftermarket springs (not mentioning brands as I am not trying to bash them) and wasn’t impressed. The springs lowered the ride height but handling was only minimally improved, mostly from the lower center of gravity. So I decided to go with coilovers and wow what a difference. Ride height isn’t slammed l, just at the height KW recommends. We played with the damping settings and at full hard, the shocks are mega stiff. Way to stiff for the street, but wicked on the track. Razor sharp handling, very little roll, felt like a go kart. In the end I went with full soft and it is comfortable on the street. Handling is still amazing. Car feels like it is on rails. Body motions are just so well controlled. I drove another M3P with aftermarket springs just to compare and it was so mushy and soft. The difference is night and day. I dare say the handling feels pretty close to my GTR and blows the doors off my F80 M3. Now I just need wider wheels and stickier tires. If you really want your M3P to handle like a sports car, I highly recommend getting some coilovers.
