Finally got those KW´s on the car :-D
Hey all! Here´s a pic after I had the KW´s assembled on the car last Friday.

I also had plans to chrome the grilles but settled for the air intakes after test assembly since it looked a little tacky with chrome ribs all over the front.

Snyggt, jädrigt snyggt. Perfekt balans, inte för mycket, inte för lite.

Ive always thought KW's appear to be very well engineered..
... and colorful...so how is the ride?

Bumpier....but awesome
Considering the 45mm lowering in the rear + some 60mm in the front I of course expected it to be bumpier than before. It does get a little tireing when driving on really bad roads for a while but as soon as I get on a piece of decent road for a minute or two, the drive is just awesome and more than makes up for the lost comfort on crappy raods. It´s holding really well in the bends and I can go way faster than before and still feel I have more control than earlier. And as a bonus you also get the visual effect from the lowering 
My kit is only height adjustable so I don´t know what difference it would make to get the kit with both adjustable height and shocks. Anyway I´m really satisfied with both the appearance and the ride so I´d recommend this to everyone.

Thanks! Just some boring stuff left now before I´m all set for summer
Need to replace the sealing where the driveshaft goes in the tranny so I printed out the instructions from your awesome website.
Also need to replace both outer CV boots in the front. Is there anything special I should consider in that operation to make the work easier?

Thanks, what about your grille?
Thanks! I´m happy with the final result. Thought I´d follow your footsteps and get the S8 grille too. Did you get it from VAG or the S8 graveyard? How much was it?
