Looks great. Just the right height. Did you have to change drop links? What kind did you use?

Your car will handle great but I think you will get very fast inside tire wear in the front. I had roughly the same height with JIC's and went thru new PS2's in less than 2000 miles. I had 235's with 15mm spacers on my kinesis and on hard compressions ie. big bumps at high /moderate speeds would just rub the upper plastic wheel liner.

Hmm, they came with front drop links i believe, maybe i will ask my mechanic to reduce the angle a bit... Perhaps more has to get changed to do that. other links and such...

well here in CT, i am using Mustante Motors in south windsor, i have alot of respect for his team and they are only workn on porsches. Plus hes local so it helps. However the KW's are not really seen around my way. Everyone just goes pss9's... i did see another variance 3 kw setup at watkins raceway in ny, here for the weekend, we compared cars, both are low, i will just have him reduce the toe/angle and pop some fiskes on there, should clean it up the look and save some tire wear i hope, the car is a little bouncy on the highway, its adjustable, maybe i can have the rebound slowed down or something. just starting to really learn about suspensions.

Did they set you up with the recommended settings as per KW instructions? My shop found those settings to be harsh for daily driving and softened it up (though I don't have the exact specs from them yet). 1st KW set they've installed and they're not overly impressed with the set for a car that is not a dedicated track machine. Their recommendation is H&R Coilovers which do not get much rep on the boards. Anybody else chime in w/ their setups?

I have the H&R coil overs and have been great for mainly street and canyons occaisional track days. could be abit on the soft side for dedicated track suspension. no problems, quiet. been riding on them since 02.
