Kw sleeve kit

Any locals that can give me a ride in their car with the kw sleeve kit?

Debating on them for a while and not sure if they are the right setup for me. I'm looking to see how stiff they are with edc

If you want to take a ride up to CT I can.

I'd recommend them highly. Equally as comfortable if not more so than stock. The EDC provides slight changes, but nothing crazy.

I suspect KW sleeves don't handle or feel any better than lower springs like RD or Eibach...so only worth while if you want custom drop for the extra money.

Coming from RD Springs and into the KW Sleeve Kit, I can say that the ride is back to stock and is more responsive to the EDC settings. With the RD Sport springs, the ride was firm making it feel like I was on EDC sport mode on comfort mode. The main reason for me switching to the KW was to raise my ride height to make driving more tolerable.

To be honest, I can't feel any difference from stock suspension to my kw sleeve kit.. Feels about the same, just lower and looks aggressive.

Had the KW Sleeve Kit and it worked fine, but certainly not as comfortable as stock. It will rattle the dash more than stock will specifically on sharp bumps. My car then was lowered with a one finger gap in front, so not max low.
