Installed/Review: KW Coil Sleeve Kit

AutoTalent · 03-24-2015, 11:42 AM

Why GC? There is reason the majority of enthusiasts ride on KW.

Take a spanner wrench to the perch to adjust the height. Wheel removal is not necessary for the front. Rear wheel plus a bolt or a few bolts need to be removed in order to adjust the rear.

Camber plates will allow you to adjust camber.

It varies what tires are used, what the tire pressure is & driver skill.

Can you guys tell me how much you paid to have these installed? I have a set & got quoted by a shop the specializes in BMW's for $750... That seems unbelievably steep. I've read install only takes a couple of hours but they told me it'd be about 7.5... I'd do it myself but I'm not really too inclined with cars.

The good thing with GC is that you can pick spring rates and their kit provides camber plates and adjustable end links.

How close are you to NY? My friend takes it to a place that I can't remember the name right now but it's a few doors down from Detailing Dynamics.

I'm about two hours away from Manhattan. Was thinking about actually just taking a road trip to Auto Couture & getting it done there. Always wanted to check out their shop.
