If dd and unless most of your driving is on really smooth roads I would advise against stiffer springs. Pss10s on standard springs are quite harsh over poor surface already.

With all the revalving/shipping/spring costs for the PSS10's.... I think I'm just gonna go with a set of the KW V3s. Go ahead and tell me 'I told you so' Blockhed!!

I got mine from FVD. As mentioned there are Ruf versions and regular PSS9s and Pss10s. They should all be a complete bolt in affair. Don't lower it more than 1" over stock and you will be fine.

The FVD version has always been rumored to come with slightly stiffer springs which should help controlling bottoming a bit better when lowering.

Mine were installed at Speed Gallery.

Rhonda at FVD has always provided me with fantastic before and after care. I bought a steering wheel from them that had some paint bubbling after 18 months (not FVD's fault at all). Rhonda went to bat for me got the manufacturer to replace it. Great customer service.

So TRG drop links are backordered.

Do you guys think I'll need adjustable drop links with the KW V3s and GMG F&R Swaybars? GMG's website says no, but my tech thinks yes.

KW's come with drop links of their own for the front, the rears I did tarrett and had zero issues. Get some rear toe links with locking plates and then you're done
FYI RSS sells front top mounts for the V3's and they are schweeeet

Perfect. Where are you getting these secret top mounts?? Not on RSS's site that I can find.

Yup... and ordered a bunch of stuff . Great guys.

They're top mounts aren't camber adjustable so I'd need to get the lower control arms to dial that around. At this point I'm just gonna get it to the suspension shop and see what I'm missing after they're fiddling with it.

Thanks again for the tips!
Henry

Hmm actually they are like the rsr plates where you rotate them one way or another to create camber
It's funny how you didn't buy my car but you've got most of my mods so far ... FAIL

Yes, I know I know -- I shoulda just wrapped it white and saved so much $$$

Weird. Mike didn't think they did camber at all. I'll send an email and double check.

LOL jackass. As far as the plates it was my understanding that they made them like the gtr rsr plates I believe where the way you install them it can be one camber setting and if you rotate it certain way it can be another. Regardless suspension is sweet
