KW sleeve coilover kit installed

edu09 · 12-04-2011, 10:26 AM

Just installed a KW sleeve coil-over kit, check it out

TRY...M3 · 12-04-2011, 10:46 AM

looks great! How much lower does this go then just springs, if at all

IFX · 12-04-2011, 10:46 AM

i love how subtle your car looks. very classy.

what is a KW "Sleeve" kit exactly? never heard of it.

1MOREMOD · 12-04-2011, 10:56 AM

looks good. nice stance. sleeve over retains the stock suspension components but allows ride height adjustments with a spinning collar just like an aftermarket coil over.

so the sleeve set-up would be more useful to people who don't want to swap out more susp. parts essentially?

1MOREMOD · 12-04-2011, 11:02 AM

yes its relatively inexpensive compared to a full coil over set up and retains the factory edc control while allowing height adjustments from stock to slammed.

seems to be the best option...so whats the reason one would go with a full-coil over?

edu09 · 12-04-2011, 11:25 AM

thanks a lot for all your comments
the car feels a little bit stiffer but with a very comfortable handling, no bouncing at all and the lower stance makes it very aggressive, I don't have it at the lowest drop to avoid rubbing issues, I still have a couple of turns to max low

1MOREMOD · 12-04-2011, 11:25 AM

so the car performs like it has a full coilover set up. sleeve over is cosmetic and coilover is for improved performance and adjustability on the track.

Will these get me lower then springs?

1MOREMOD · 12-04-2011, 11:48 AM

i think you can go slightly lower than some springs but depends on the brand. this allows you to move up and down to taste which no spring can do.

TRY...M3 · 12-04-2011, 11:55 AM

Thank you! I have HR springs...ill have to see if these go a little lower

Damn, stock height is bothering me now when I see this! Looking good bro...wish there was electronic height control hehe...

mkPOTO · 12-04-2011, 10:41 PM

very nice, love the stance of your car!

GOVCO · 12-05-2011, 08:11 PM

Have been pondering getting the KW S/O kit myself, or say screw my EDC and pony up to the V3s. Only thought was whether a camber (maybe toe as well) kit is necessary to reduce the uneven wear with lowering the vehicle. Had a kit on my last car, but I just had springs.

catch · 12-05-2011, 09:26 PM

so freaking hot! those tires look crazy agressive too! most people have very aggressive wheels, your tires are nuts!
