KW V1 Coilovers fitted

[Tom Newton]

today resulted in the removal of these

leaving this sorry state

and fitting these

giving this

pretty happy with them, went lower than i expected being KW's. everything is still in for now. need to get the rear adjusters out tho to get it sitting abit more level.

rides good, hardly any firmer than standard sports suspension, maybe alittle bouncy but nothing major.

bit of a meet tomorrow in cardiff so more pix then

will try and get a sort of guide up soon, pretty simple job if you buy a few extra rubbers etc for the top and got the right tools to hand.

Looking good mate! Where abouts in S.Wales you situated fella? Spend a lot of time down pembrokeshire myself

 

[Tom Newton]

im in Bridgend mate, and am in Swansea Uni, so on the way

Looks brilliant mate

 

[stukillen]

i like the ride height on the back i would just change the front if i were you but that is a personal preference i suppose. but looks nice with the lowering. i am guessing it is a 1.4 from the pics?

 

[mardon]

Yeah i'm in cardiff a lot as well. I have the Eibach's which have the same shock's as the KW's. The look great but the back needs to do lower on mine as well. How much lower will it go without the rear adjusters 7-8mm?

Looking very good mate, nice job too. Personally I feel the front is a little too low but everyone has their personal preference I guess.

 

[Tom Newton]

Thanks all, yeah it's not to everyones taste but it was always my plan to get it as low as possible lol

Yeah maybe another 10mm at the rear without the adjuster, will try it. Might be too bouncy without it but we'll see

I like it back needs a little adjusting then it will look awesome

Looks great. Tom, did you go for the V1 basic coilover kit or the V1 Inox-Line ones? The Inox-line ones are more expensive for some reason but they are both stated as Varient 1.

get that adjuster ring/adjuster platform out, will look spot on, hope the PS comes true, will look epic

+1. Personally i prefer when the whole car is one level. But like you said, you prefer it like that.

Looking good though.

Looks sooo much better! The stance is a personal thing...

Are they used coilovers? What they off a mk5?
