Got the KW coilovers - keeping in mind the lip and the Chicago streets - should I go lower?

Or is this height good?

m34SPD · 08-04-2016, 06:38 PM

Looks good at that height, I wouldn't lower it.

Looks great! Very sexy

Height looks perfect to me. How does the car ride now?

Make it lower!!

here is mine on KW coilovers but no lip

QuickOne · 08-05-2016, 05:51 AM

I think it looks great! It looks mean without looking like it's trying to be a low rider.

I like the height! with the pricey lip I wouldn't go any lower...cant wait to get more of your impressions as you get more miles on the coils. our 22's are being installed right now and I'm worried the ACS setup isn't going to look low enough with the 22's.

It doesn't look low enough in my opinion of being on ACS since October.

ACS spring is about 1.2" drop.
If you want aggressive look, you will need to drop about 1.75".

Actually just got car back with 22s and while another half inch would be awesome, I'm not sure I can justify the cost to gain a little more drop...overall I'm happy..I'll post some pics as soon as I can in another thread

Looking forward to seeing it. I have to say - the ride is amazing though. It has made a huge difference. I'll give my detailed impressions after a few hundred miles.

Are you on 23's

I like the height currently. Looks lowered but not slammed which gives the station wagon appearance. Also when you go too low the wheels start cambering a lot and wheels tuck in looking like you didn't have a flush offset which you paid a lot of money for in your custom wheels

I'm running HR and like the look but ride quality is less desired. Contemplating on getting Kw but really want to take a ride in someone's car before shelling out a couple of grand

How much clearance do you have with the front lip at current height? The rkp lip is next on my list. Looks like the lip itself drops the front 2-3 inches. Kind of like that don't have to worry about driveway exits and speed bumps right now

I'd like to do the KW setup but I have to keep the rear airbags so I can tow the toys...

Looks awesome though. Very mean.
