Installed KW V3's & 20mm/25mm spacers

ExhaustNote · 18th February 2010, 07:05 PM

I installed 20mm/25mm spacers a few weeks ago and finally got my car lowered with a set of KW V3's. My AWE exhaust and ecodes should be here next week. Anyways, I took a few pics in the garage at work as I was leaving, hope you enjoy them!

looking good, how does the ride feel compare to stock?

ExhaustNote · 18th February 2010, 07:23 PM

I got them installed at 034 motorsports and they adjusted them a bit to compensate the crappy roads here in San Francisco. I'm very happy with the results, the ride feels awesome. It's a little bit more firm then stock but still very comfortable. I can take some of my more familiar turns at a lot higher of a rate with very minimal body roll. I haven't really gotten a chance to try them out in the twisties but after this weekend I should have a better idea of their performance capabilities.

Hi ExhaustNote,

just interested in what settings you have had the kw's set at? Also if you've lowered the car and by how much? I'm primarily interested as my car is very similar mods wise
