Default KW Coilovers Installed

I will update later with pics of my KW Coilover install. The install was fairly simple, about an hour. I also did an alignment and was able to get -1.5 camber on the fronts after I had the control arms slotted an additional 3/8". The rear camber is now -2.5 which is too much and I am looking at reworking the rear lower control arms so that the rear camber can be pulled into a more nuetral camber -.5 or less. I reset toe to factory specs on the fronts. The front was dropped to 1.5" or 25" to inside edge of fender and 1.25" drop for the rear to 25 1/4" to fender(max drop for rear). The ride and handling is superb. Very smooth on the road. The adjustable Koni's were set at mid setting. I couldn't believe how smooth the ride was after lowering with the KW's as compared to the H&R sport springs. I liked the H&R's but ride comfort and fear of road bumps was a big compromise. Not so with the coilovers. I don't have to worry about bumps or expansion joints. I bought the KW's from PES which were delivered within 5days!<p>RobeyTT: 225TTC,Lake Silver w/Blk TT Cloth,APR,Stable Harness Bar,BBS-RC's,P-ZeroC's,Bailey,KW Coilovers.
