Thanks for your ideas guys. The only drawback is I'll be waiting another month until the next autox to test it all out.

Just got mine installed this weekend. I really like them, but they're much stiffer than i thought.

I have some concern about the front being so low. I have ride height up front set up at 65mm and the rear at 55mm. The front ride height seems a little low to me. About 1.25 inches from the tires to the fenders?? Is that normal for this. I know I can got up another 15mm up front.

The other question I have. The rebound adjustment on My KW's is done by using the 2mm Allen wrench that was supplied with the kit. Those purple wheels don't fit on top of the struts??? am I missing a part that connects the two???? please advise.

the allen wrench is provided to "lock" the screws that adjust the coils. (the purple thing that spins to adjust your ride height)

Rebound is no longer adjusted with the purple wheel? Is compression still adjusted the same way?

Anyway, if you think the car is too low, just raise it.

15 millimeters is over a half inch. If you don't like it, raise it. Your car is a little raked so raise it as much as you can to compensate for the rear.

I am not familiar with that track so I can't really help you out much there.

If your car is as low as it is in your signature, I would recommend raising it a bit to maximize your suspension travel.
