KW V3 and SPL installed!! Question. Need advice. Thanks!

zcarspirit · 11-17-2015, 05:52 PM

So I got the KW V3 and SPL camber arm Front&Rear installed yesterday.

About 1 inch drop all around.

however, I was told by the alignment guy , that the rear toe was off by a tiny bit, that I need some sort of bolt or toe arm to so that i can bring it back to factory spec. but he said it's ok even if i don't do anything....

Should I be concerned or just leave it like this?

Thanks guys.

Installed some side and rear lips.

here's some pictures

cool. wow, datz low..probably lower than 1inch drop.. did you have that corner balanced or just dropped it just for looks?

as for the alignment, post up the AFTER readings. without dat we cant comment.

zcarspirit · 11-17-2015, 07:23 PM

I don't know if it's more than 1 inch . but the shop who did the installation said it's right about 1 inch drop... I used my finger to measure.. there's one finger gap ^^

i will just have to find a shop that can do corner balance...I will do it!

I was kind of in a rush and forgot to ask the piece of paper for alignment .

but I remember that the alignment guy said that the toe should be 0.3 , and now it's at 0.35 or something like that.. just off by a tiny bit..

you need some spc toe bolts https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart...on.php?II=4294

SPC toe bolts will be the cheapest, easiest option. I would do it, as even a little off in terms of an alignment can cost you big as far as tires go in the long run.

More than an inch for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than 1 1/2".

Looks freakin' awesome whatever the drop.

Don't know how to measure the drop.the shop told me it's about 1 inch

But I could feel that it's definitely more than 1inch

Is it too low ?

Been driving around town the past couple days without any issue.

The only time I scrape the front end is that I enter into the underground parking

Other than that, no scrape.

Based on your photos, your drop is most likely far more than one inch.
