What else should I do? I've got some V3's, but should I be fitting other bits - reinforced top mounts, poly bushes, RTAB's, etc - while I'm under there?

Car's covered 30k.

not sure if KW do their own but i had Turner adjustable ones fitted prior to the Intrax which has its own built in (as part of the price)

Ah, doh! Cheers Daz. :clown:

I must have been destined to buy these... this morning my M3 failed its MOT because of a snapped rear spring :bigcry:

So nothing else? No bushes I should change? How about the RTAB's?

Oh, and what's the difference between V3's for the M3, and V3's for the CSL?

I would imagine that it would be the spring rates if anything as the two cars weigh differently in standard trim.

On my clubsport box it stated m3 inc csl, so clubsports prob no difference.

Just buy the kw top mounts to fit your kw shocks.

Where you getting them fitted?
