k&w v3 drop
 

hey all...
Does anyone have pictures of the rear drop on the kw V3s all the way lowered? I have mine almost maxed, 3 turns from maxed out and there is still about an inch/inch and a half gap in the rear. I wanted to get rid of all wheel gap. Any pics??

You probably didn't unload all the suspension.

When you say unload do you mean bottoming out the spring perch? Or are you talking about something that would have happened on install?

No I mean any suspension piece that has a bushing in it,all of these must be loosened then set height then tighten them up with the weight of the car on it.
If you lower your car and don't do this is will put pressure upward causing it to be higher than it should.
it is something to check on plus it should be done anyway.

Gotcha! I will do that this week. Thanks!

Should I have done that with springs as well? My front dint drop at all

When ever you change the height you need to loosen all suspension pivot points then after you assemble the suspension jack up under it to move it upward when it starts to come off the jack stand tighten all of the bolts up put the wheel on and set it on the ground ,back it out of the garage then pull it back in then check your height you should be good to go.:hello:

I will try it today if it doesn't work is cutting the spring an option?

NO!

Did you lower the coilovers as per their directions?

cut the springs! are you serious...? maybe you should walk away and let someone else give it a try.

Just trade me your coilovers for my springs. I will even cut them before I send them out. You will have no problem with the wheel gap.

but you may have problems with squeaking and knocking

No no no these are springs tanabe gf 210s I've read of ppl cutting them

please put down whatever garbage you are reading and get a professional to install your springs correctly.

And pay 750? Doubtful bud and I ha Nissan look over it when I got an alignment the day after instal. And they said everything was good and done right. It rides and feels good just it didn't drop the front at all there's cars on this site on springs that sit way lower then mine and I don't know why i will try unloading the suspension this weekend

This is my drop on KW V3s with a -2.6 camber. Dropped almost max. I actually am Gonna raise it and decrease my camber to -2 or something.

I am confused though...why do you have different springs? Hmmmm.... not sure if serioussssssssssssss
