More pics I took during install.
Love the easily removed drip tray in front of the windscreen. Two clips and the whole thing just pops off. And a pic of the camber adjustment bolt. |

Had the final alignment done today. Car rides and handles great.
One thing I noticed is every now and then when accelerating from a standing stop there appears to be a slight vibration for a split second throughout the vehicle. Almost feels like drive shaft shimmy but it can only be the front halfshafts. Checking the KW booklet that came with the kit I am well within the recommended lowering range so I wonder if maybe the CV joints will "wear" in over time. I've never experienced this with any other FWD vehicle I've lowered even when go beyond recommended specs. What's worse is that my wife is the one who pointed out earlier in the week as she was driving it more than me. Overall my final lowering dimension from bottom lip of rim to bottom fender edge is 24.6inches front and rear. Approx. 15" from center hub to lower fender edge. Will keep you posted on ride quality and that vibration that is felt sometimes. Overall very pleased with the handling and the ride comfort. The ride turned out much more compliant than I expected. Proper- I will be interested to see if you feel anything once you get your KW's on. |

These look awesome. I have the exact same car and wheels. It’s an m sport right? Do you have an exact link to the suspension? Did it come with the springs? What’s the total cost of them? I also noticed these drop lower than bilsteins, is that true?

You can order them on kwsuspensions.com Not sure if there is a Bilstein kit, i've only ever used KW, Ohlins and Blitz kits. KW by far is the best bang for the buck and the quality is top notch. |
