Can the KW sleeve kit achive a stance like this?
My car will never see any track time. So the suspension work that I do would be strictly for looks only.
I was thinking of getting the KW sleeve-over kit. Mainly because I think you might be able to get a lower ride height than what the springs offer. And also I read from some members that the ride is a bit better than with just Eibach or H&R springs. Here is the stance that I would like to achive. Do you guys think that it can be done with just the KW S/O kit? http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=780214 |

Your wheel/tire combo will play a role in stance as well.
I personally think that the sleeve kit is a waste. It shouldn't provide any different ride since it's just a spring setup as well (just happens to be adjustable).

If you do some research you will find that the performance with lowering springs and stock shocks will worsen the lower you go. The ride height on the car in the link was achieved with coil-overs and I would bet that the ride quality will suck if you tried to go that low with the spring-over kit. Even with coilovers that ride-height is very impractical. I had mine set almost that low and I was scraping often. It looks cool but it takes away from the driving experience.

Im planning on going with the set of 20 inch BBS wheels like the one on the link..that's why when i saw that link i got excited because it is very similar to what I had in mind... And I'm really digging the look.
I definitely do not want to pay the price of a coilovers...in my Mind is a waste for what I'm trying to do...And springs don't provide the desired drop. Do you guys have any other suggestions? Or are those my only options? |

If you're willing to spend $$ for those BBS w/Amuse offset + S/O kit. I'd go balls out and pick up a set of BBS E88 + S/O kit or + B&G springs w/E36 bump stops. <-- heard good things about those springs with the stops.
