Nice looking ride . A little too slammed for my taste in those pics though.
However, it's your ride and I guess the roads aren't potato patches around there .

Can't wait for my KW coilovers that are going to be installed on monday!

anytime D! i agree, it's a bit low for my taste and would love to see the "after" pix.

as far as quality/performance difference - it is certainly night & day! i've always associated lowering a car to bouncy and stiff, but not with KW's. i would go as far as saying the performance and ride quality is better than stock. as far as looks, that's obvious!

How low can you go? Looks good man... If it were a little higher with some spacers you would be looking a lot better.
Good job man

the dampening was adjusted so that the ride would be almost exactly the same as stock. I took some turns on my way home and noticed a considerable difference. The car felt soooo much better.
