Picture request for those who run KW coilovers...

...Would like to see a pic of the rear suspension installed on your vehicle. Hoping someone took a pic before mounting the wheel/tire back on.
Thanks in advance!

Subscribed,.. and in for more pictures..

Thought Id never do it as I bought Eibach springs only to sell them (still new in box, never opened), and then I go ahead and buy KW Variants..
Going to install the rears myself and maybe shop the front. gotta look at the front as Im not sure if I have to compress springs...

Will try and post pics when I do the install..
have Brembo 6 pot calipers only (w/ lines) coming in and Stoptech slotted rotors coming in after April 1st or so to install as well..

you will definitely need a spring compressor for the front or get them to a shop to remove them since you need the top plate with the KWs...

as for the picture I could get some probably within the next week.

curious to see these KWs installed as well. Rumor is that the KW reuses the OEM cone shaped rubber isolator in the rear where as most coilovers completely replace this with an aluminum perch/top hat? These coilovers are known for being quiet...other coilovers have had issues with the rears making noise or 'clunks' over larger bumps so this may be the difference. Anyone with KWs wanna chime in?
