Steel suspension with coilovers?
Does anyone have any experience with the KW coilovers? Looking for feedback before I take the plunge. Any pics?

Nobody here i know, but it's a better option than springs if you have the budget.. it's over $3K isnt it?

Its the look I'm after. I figure if I install the springs only and I am not happy with it, it will end up costing more in the long run

I haven't had a chance to drive all that much today, but here are my resluts.
Lowered the front 1.5" and the real .75 before driving around. I will load a few pics at Fotki.

are those 295/30's or 285/35's??

I'm guessing 295/30's with the fender gap.

Looks great...

And thanks, I am trying to make it look a little unique.
What do you think of shaving the tail badges and tinting the tail lights?

sounds like some nice ideas... that color is great, too. So how the ride with steel and 295/30's?
