Default Okay, here is the measurement for all four corners from the center of the wheel to the fender.

From what the installer told me, the front is lowered 1.5" and the rears are at the lowest settings.

LF: 33.7cm RF: 33.4cm
LR: 34.5cm RR: 35.5cm

I have about 3/4 tank of gas left in the car and I am brining it in for a second alignment tomorrow because of the relocation of the Forge rear tie bars. I will measure the four corners again when I return from the shop tomorrow.

Default Glen, if you are talking about Michael Audi in Fresno...

Good luck getting a car from them. I don't think they have any TT's in stock.

On the other hand, I have a stock 3.2 TT close to Sanger...

Default

are the V3's for 225 exactly the same as V3's for 3.2?

Default I am not sure, but I kind of doubt it since the weight of these cars are different.

I have asked HPA to come on and shed some light on this issue since they sell a bundle of KW's.

Default it was my understanding that HPA modified the KW's and resold

them as their own kits (SHS)?

Default Just the V1's - they modified them to have stock height rather than a mandatory drop......

whereas the V1's will drop the car 20mm right off the bat - the SHS allow for stock ride height and up to 35mm of lowering vs 55mm lowering for the V1's. Well - we're still trying to figure out how they got the 55mm figure for the rears which is the hear of this post :-)
