Dropped on KWs

Anyone with a 135is and stock wheels dropped on KWs?

Can you post some pictures please? I'm thinking about this mod with some spacers. Thanks!

It would look exactly the same as any other 135 dropped on kws or any other coil over. How it sits is just dependent on the owner's taste. If you look at the sticky posted in this sub forum (aftermarket suspension photo compilation) you'll find lots of pictures of what you want.

I have a couple of bad pictures of the car completely slammed on v3's and stockers while the other wheels were being refinished. Like the poster above said, it's going to look like any other lowered setup, the only difference being that the coils are adjustable. You will need spacers to make the setup look right.







this is the car at the same ride height (no changes made) with some adv1's:

Becareful how flushed you want it. The 1st time I lowered it the front rubber flaps keep scrapping the ground on 50% of the driveway/bumps I encountered and I had to raise it back up a bit... those flaps are some annoying son of a gun!

Just uninstall them, at that ride-height they don't really do their intended purpose anymore. All it takes is a few bolts, and then you can always put them back later on.

I had ST Coilovers for a while, which are essentially KW v1's without the anodizing on the outside. Here's how my car sat with both the fronts and rears all the way down.

How much work did you do in the front? I'm halfway down on STs right now and rub occasionally where the bumper connects with the fender. Was going to trim that area a bit. Any luck with that as a solution?
