Geez - these things are a might bit stiff.................................
KW Variant II coilovers that is. Had em installed last thursday and drove about 500+ miles with em. The shop that installed them didn't do the table alignment until today to allow for some settling and correct height measurements. I had a little problem with the poor alignment and buckets of rain this weekend but I survived.
Got em aligned and the drop set an 1" all the way around. I have the fronts set at 3/4+ turns and the rears at 1.25 turns - there are just under 2.5 turns in the adjustment range. Had the fronts also at 1.25 but turned em down a little and it's much better. The rears will also be turned down probably to the same level as the fronts.
The ride is firm but not harsh and they will take a little time to settle in as all my suspensions have - maybe a couple 2-3 weeks. The car does handle much better - but I didn't have much time to put it through it's paces yet.

What is "How to start a thread that will no doubt get strange looks?"
I still wish that Ralf would have shipped me those KW's instead of running off with my $$$ and heading back to Germany. =(
