I have an 3e9 m5. On the KW-V3 coilover kit, is the kit suppose to have little tanks on the side of the strut? Also i have it slammed, and it is set to the max stiffness, but it has a bounce like a lowered Honda or something.

yes they have a reservoir on the side, you can adjust the coils (dampening and rebound) for the KW V3...I have an 3e9 m5.

Ok. Thank you!!! For some reason when i bought the coil-over i knew they were not what the sealer clam them to be, but they were in the kwv3 box. But lately, sense Ive broken the coil-overs in its been bouncy, a friend said that their an adjustment that mine doesn't have, that the V3 are suppose to have so I'm guessing my suspension is the kwv2 when i paid for the v3. Wonder if he is willing to send me the correct coil-overs and ill send him the v2 back.
