Greg,
KW use the stock top hat. That's why I'll need to get a spring compressor. I haven't rolled my fenders and don't plan to go that low. The car will be tracked. I want plenty of room for suspension travel/wide tires.

What specific tools do you guys think I'll need?
-Jack, sockets/breaker bar, impact gun, jack stands, spring compressor

Am I missing anything?

I live in Gainesville, so Manassas is right around the corner. I'd be willing to come by and meet some people and help if need be.


Is there a specific date and time? Also, what's the address?

Date looks to be June 7th, Address will be sent out closer to the date. GearJDM will be in charge of sending his address out.

Time? Start around 10? Typically a lot of people want to get things done. If we start early we'll have time to get everything done.

JDM - PM incoming tomorrow

i dont think you need a spring compressor...the KW V3 comes with its own upper mounts doesnt it???

i'll see if I can come out...i don't need to do anything with my car but I did my own suspension so I'm sure i can give you guys a hand...

metros: HAVE YOU ROLLED YOUR FENDERS YET??? or are you not gonna go that low?

(name's greg btw)
KW V3 does not come with the top mounts

you will need a spring compressor or a very strong/heavy guy you choose

gotcha...we may be able to not use a spring compressor by adjusting the perches to the lowest stance, letting the springs come as low as possible...then putting top mounts on and then adjusting perches back...

i'll try to make it guys since i just did my suspension a month or two ago but don't count on it just because of hyperfest the weekend after (and i cant take off every weekend unfortunately)
