Just a quick correction. For the forseable future, only the KW V3 will be available for now.

I will try to dig up the spring rates. The Variant's use a progressive rate springs, whereas the competition coils use a straight spring, and a helper spring. They accomplish the same thing.

I have the compression and rebound set at 2/3 of the way stiff. My ride height is about 2 inch drop in the rear, and 2.5 front. It's aggressive, but I set it that way intentionally. You can run a drop from stock...all the way down to probably 3 inches...becuase on my guess. There is a massive range of adjustment.

The more I drive these coilovers, the more I like this setup! Feels like a whole new car. I also played with the ride height a little bit over the weekend...I will post up some nice pics tomorrow, after we put a fresh wash and shine on the car.
