Anyone on Bilstein B12 Prokit or KW?

Hi ALL,

My car, W204 K is running on 235/40/18 (8.5) and 265/35/18 (9.5).

would like to get some feedback if anyone has fitted either B12 or KW with the above tyre profile and encounter rubbing issues between tyres and fender over hump, uneven road, high speed or full load of passengers?

Thanks in advance!

For Kw it's Coilover so I doubt there is rubbing issue as you can adjust to the height and stiffness that you want. For B12 it's fixed.

So if I only want to lower my car from the current three finger gap to a 2-1.5 finger gap, the B12s would not be suitable?

Thank you for the info, sir! Any idea where I can go for KW Coilovers then?

Because of the wider tyre profile (i.e. 265) am afraid of the rubbing issue if the minimum drop is say 30mm. It is stated that B12 allows drop 'up to 40mm' but it does not state the range. Searched KW website for V1, V2 and V3, it does not explicitly state the range of drop though some models are adjustable. Maybe, am not searching it right. Also found out that KW has another product, 'Street comfort' where it has an adjustable lowering of 10-40mm which sounds quite ideal. But need to check the application for W204 for KW range
