Default KW v3's fitted

Bought these from Flightrisk a few weeks back, just had a chance to put em on (+ megan toe arms, half shaft spacers and steering rack spacers). Used the out the box settings, 25mm lower, looking good:

Yarp, I'm happy so far. Had a basic four wheel alignment done, and it's handling better than stock. The limit of grip seems to be at a slightly higher speed round a corner, and I can still feel the limit through the wheel as it gets to it, so I havn't ruined it. Which is nice.

Will get it more thoroughly checked out at wheels in motion in a month or so, when I get new tyres on as well.

Tein never get the feedback that KW get across the USA or Eu boards.
The biggest thing with KW is the stainless materials, they will last in our salty winters.
IMO

They look so much better at these ride heights don't they?

Went in a Jap Spec S2000 Type S last Friday with HKS Hypermax 3's fitted around the Sepang F1 circuit in Malaysia, the car was very impressive. The car was white with the CR spoiler kit fitted, anyone with a GT100 should have fitted that kit it really does look the business in the flesh.
