KW / ST V1 height adjustment

Hi Guys,

Wondering if someone can help clarify what is the minimum drop possible when installing KW/ST V1’s ?

I have searched the forums all weekend and can find no definitive answer. Some posts state that you can adjust the height to OEM MSport after install – whereas other posts say that it drops a minimum 3 inches.

Basically – I do not want to drop more than 2 cm max. So if I can adjust the height to this I will be pulling the trigger.

Thanks

2cm is fine, most people don't go more than that. Not sure why anyone would say 3 inch minimum drop. Your car would be scraping on a flat surface if that was the case.

Thanks guys.

When I did a google image search for kw v1 a lot of the pics looked pretty slammed

And I am not really after that look, plus I would leave half my front bar on my driveway every time I went in and out

Give Pete a call at AdvanPerformance tomorrow morning... He should be able to give you a accurate estimate for install.. He has installed more than his fair share.

If you can find a pic of my car (under raihax) is about 1.3" if that helps.

Yours the blue ? I have the same wheels with 255's... Any rubbing ?

Could you adjust it for more height, or is that as high as it goes ?

Nice ride btw
