KW Automotive purchased ST and now almost all of the ST coilover kits are identical to KW Variant 1 but without stainless steel shock body.

Pictured below is a brief step by step installation…

Yeah actually posted it so people would look and see that ST offers an identical set up as the KW Variant 1 but in a Galvanized steel shock body instead of the stainless steel like KW...and the DO offer them for BMW :)
Shoulda added that at the bottom of the text...oops :(

Thanks Troy for the sharing:goldcup: does ST have different versions like the KW and how's the ride compared to stock?

My buddy has these on his 335 and he had told me that KW was affiliated with st a while back but I didnt think nothing of it. I guess he was right.

ST only offers the identical version of the Variant one which is height adjustable only and ride quality is very good.

LOL..yeah my personal preference would be to turf it but he is a sneaky guy....he makes just under 300 wheel HP on a stock K03 turbo and water/methanol injection and likes to look pretty stock so he can hurt un-suspecting peoples feelings as he pulls away from them...LOL
