Those look exactly like my KW setup just the only difference is mine are purple where yours are blue. I wonder if KW makes them for hamann. Those smaller springs are what they call helper springs. They are fully compressed when on the car. They don't change the spring rates much if any. They really are only there for when you have the car slammed realy low they keep the main spring seated in the top perch. Some people remove them if they aren't dropping the suspension really low so they can move the perch up higher and get more clearance for wider tires.

Those spring only hold about 80-100lbs load and you can compress them by hand.
Yup, I think your right on this one also. If that is what the clicking sound is from, why not just take out the helper springs?

no need, the sounds come only for a couple of minutes after startup and then you never hear them. better get the advantage from this design

Thanks for the description NWS Alpine !

Yup, KW makes them for Hamann

***UPDATE! ***

Due to very popular demand, we ended up adding a 10mm spacer on the rear and raised the car up a little. Sorry, but I wasnt able to take pics. Jesse, hurry and post updated pics.

I liked it better with the unpainted rims... With painted rims and red calipers it just screams out I need a BBK

That wheel style is extremely hot!!!

I like the painted wheels.... +1 on the painted calipers not a fan, if you want red calipers get bbk but at the same time doesnt look all too bad.

I like the painted wheels also. It completely made his car look alot meaner. As for the calipers, all that matters is that he likes it.
