Can I retain stock ride height with KW Clubsports
Suspension gurus, a question for you all:
Can I retain stock ride height with KW Clubsports? If not, what is the least amount of lowering that I can get away with? I have ZCP EDC suspension right now. I have a clearance issue with my very steep driveway. it is angled in such a way that when the front wheels are in the garage and the rear wheels are on the driveway, the underside of my car comes about .5 to 1" from the driveway. Does not scape but comes close. |

So why take the ride of coilovers if you're not going to lower it

Height Adjustable: 0.4"-1.5" FRONT / 0.2"-1.4" REAR is what KW states. However in reality I was told the clubsports drop a minimum of 0.8' inches in the rear, so the rear will drop a decent amount on the highest height setting on the clubsports.

At full height in the rear, mine was about 1" lower than stock with the CS. You can always swap out the springs to swifts though from what I've read. It is a great improvement in handling though!

KW CS will not give you the ability to retain stock ride height with the springs provided. They drop the car a fair amount actually.
