Slammed now on KW V3s

So I got my KW V3s and had them installed this past Friday and these coilovers are ammmaaazing!! I'm slammed but it rides as smooth or smoother than stock LOL! I'll post a review in coming weeks. Here are a few new pics I promised I'd post and a big thanks to our vendor Nick at THMotorsports for fast shipping, great service and a great price!

Thanks Bud! Install was pricey since you know me and my car so I took it to ...wait... wait for it.. the dealership lol! $401.00 total, yes ouch! Believe it or not I was going to have Green Goblin of SFGC do the installation, but he seemed a bit busy with a turbo install and I wanted to get it done before I went on Vacation this weekend.

Your such a salesman Deigo trying to get me to buy the Vossens! There very nice rims, but I'm very happy with my XIXs... for now!

Yeah I know i said I was going form Eibach drop only a half inch down which would be about 1.7 inches. I'm at 2+ inches now. I love the slammed look and the only thing keeping me from slamming my ride is the parking garage at my job, but I can make it in fine and only going out of the garage exit there is a very light scrape on the middle exhaust bar. Ill probably raise it 1/8 of an inch so it dosnt scrape anymore. The rims are XIX X21s yes they are identical to the LS10s I had painted the center caps black but am going to probably replace them back to normal chrome.



Thanks Everyone for the comments!

looks super. Front appears just right even as you say it's without the camber kit. What would be the difference in feel between just the springs and the coilovers?

Thanks again! Your going to love them man. You must test drive my car man! Yes these cars just look sick slammed. I've driven around and don't have any issues anywhere here in Miami. Of course inclines/declines are approached at an angle where they are a bit steep. Of course big *** speed bumps aint going over it even at an angle you'll scrape.
I'm at about 25 1/2 inches from ground to fender. I think ill bump it to 25 3/4th though. Since I heard a slight rub in front turning with a friend in car. Of course you cant have it slammed and have a car load of people and like stoof saying about rather large women lol!

I had Eibachs before and big difference is I have these coils at rebound = 2/3 stiff bump = 7/10 and it rides as smooth as stock but when you go to corner its better than Eibachs for sure. But now if I want I can stiffen it up so its totally on rails for street or track. But as is its awesome since it feels driving down the highway like luxury car but as soon as you sway and corner you feel the performance difference. No bouncing like cheap coilovers too.
