KW H.A.S. Coilovers

[LuRKeR_M3]

Anyone running these KW H.A.S. Coilovers? Looking to lower the ride without killing the handling, or losing existing suspension/EDC (Not tracking vehicle as of yet) -- will this be achieved with these springs?

Would like to be a little lower...

Thoughts?

Yes all they are, are adjustable lowering springs. You will still keep your EDC.

I'm running them and really like the ride quality

Thanks classic6 -- how long have you been running them, noticing any issues with your struts?

How much of a drop as well, and any difference in the stiffness of the ride or EDC adjustments?

Probably a year now. No issues at all.

I'm about half way down on the front and roughly halfway on the rear. I do have a couple amps and a sub in the trunk so it does bring it down more then normal. But the ride quality is still good! I'm very happy with them.

Here is a picture...

Wow man, thanks for supplying the image -- that looks nasty dude, beautiful ride -- i appreciate the info!

Just to clarify, we are talking about the adjustable springs not the adjustable coil overs correct? in your signature it says "KW S/O KIT"

Looking to run the adjustable spring with STOCK struts and EDC

Very hard to believe the sleeve only kit lowers the car this much. I have seen in person as low as they go and EVEN at full lowering there was still gaps like a lowering spring drop. Thus why a lot of us did not spend money on them.

Ahh, nvm I see your back wheels on an incline, thus pushing the front down.

It does sit that low. I stated that I have a built stereo in the trunk and that is why. My ride quality is very nice! Even on 305/25/20 tires.

Here is another shot on my flat garage floor. Once again it's because of the extra weight in the trunk.

Looks about right. I noticed the front gap a little.

I didn't know folks still ran stereo's systems anymore.

Either way car looks solid.

Vorsteiner. If you look at some of my other posts, I ended up changing it to ChallengeUSA. Two different styles.
