KW Sleeve question for EDC

marksae · 03-28-2012, 03:33 PM

Good info. Sounds like it's definitely a good idea to put a few miles on the new setup before getting an alignment.

BTW, any worries about the set screw backing off the height adjustment collar?

How many miles did you put on it already? Since the install i only drove 5-10miles, been driving my gf's car

update on the stance of the car, it feels so much better then my old setup and love the stance!

How much damper travel have you got left. It looks like it's right on the bumps

the front has 3 full turns left to max and rear has 2 full turns left to max, it had about a finger gap when i was done with the install but it settled down (lower) since the install. The pictures was taken this morning which i think the stance is perfect

Looks really good! Very nice

8-9 hours for install is pretty good for the 1st time, mine took me about 20

Thanks!

I had some help from my gf's brother and my dad, it was a fun learning experience.

Next is DIY BBK if i can ever afford them

Because of your help I didn't really have to play the guessing game on where to set it

Thanks again! I owe you

I am glad it came out so nice, the perfect drop IMO

I finally got around to start installing my KW sleeve kit. I did the fronts so far. I ended up using a press to get the stock spring perches off. I tried using a hammer, but those things were on there. My car does have 33k miles.

I also noticed my driver side shock was leaking slightly, so it's likely on its way out already. Guess i'll see how long it lasts from here on out.

Hopefully everyone marked the perch position on the dampers if you want to put it back to stock later.
