Default for those with Bilstein or H&R coilovers...would you be interested in a set of rear KW springs

and perches?

i swapped out my rear springs from 1011 to 8012 shorter springs...plus, i have the perches to go with them. won't have them ready to remove from the car until i swap out to winter wheels soon.

if interested, shoot me an email.

just a FYI, i had Bilstein PSS coilover in prior to KW coilovers...but before i made the total switch, i swapped out what i thought were collapsed coils in the PSS rears...ONLY the rear springs and perches since it was an easy swap. it made a huge difference...the ride prior was harsh and kept bottoming out...but just with the KW springs and perches, it was much more manageable, rideable and smoother.

Just curious, why would those with H&Rs want these?

Default if they experienc collapsed or failed rear springs...

the 'peek-a-boo' springs in the rear never did it for me...and exhibited some of the worse rides i've experienced on my Bilstein coilovers.

Default I'm interested...

Did this effect handling in anyway or just ride quality? Let me know the details...

Default it affected the ride quality more than anything else...

but you can also tighten up the Bilsteins if you have the adjustable ones. the harshness and what felt like bottoming out, is no longer there. judging from your sig, this should be close to where you are now with perches almost all the way down...you may need to expand the perch to bring it to your level...about 1/8" of thread showing.
