One thing to consider. Maybe your kit was assembled with wrong rear springs that are shorter? Maybe a simple human mistake?

Check this part 3 from a 3part series on making KW v3 suspension:

It shows how they take parts from the shelves including springs and there are a lot of them to choose from in the warehouse. Its not like they have a big label E89 Z4 on them.

Also read a thread on F80 forum with similar rear height problem. KW sent him 20mm longer springs to fix the issue.

I just talked to KW about my issue. They confirmed that there is nothing wrong if I will use longer spring, 2cm longer, but with the same force. They are sending me such spring next week. Also, spring with higher force would work, but they decided to go this way.

So problem is solved. 120nm/220mm spring will be used, instead of 120/200. Which will solve all the problems.

Maybe contact KW directly and have them help you out?
