[JR]

sorry for asking but they are kw's yeh ?

 

[b3nje]

DECK IT!!

 

[Ryan k]

They better be worth it

 

[Ryan k]

sorry for asking but they are kw's yeh ?

Ye they are and they have koni rear dampers

 

[Ryan k]

DECK IT!!

Would do but my exhaust is lower so i will hit it on everything lol

 

[b3nje]

let me rephrase.

DECK IT...just enough so the rear eng of your car where the exhaust is located will not hit anything and thus cause damage to a NEEDED part of the car that if damaged would probably cause descrease in performance and lead to an expensive repair.

better???

 

[Ryan k]

Lol ok

 

[Greeny.]

Im very jealous, nice purchase! Dont adjust them to hard as it will handle worse than standard.

 

[jams]

Very nice mate

 

[Ryan k]

Thats why i got adjustable so it can be softer

 

[Nigel]

I've been tempted bythe KW kit due to price. Please post a review when you have fitted them!!

They look a decent bit of kit from your photo.

Do the rears have any adjustments?

 

[Leeshez]

Gonna look good

 

[PYE21]

Do you have cup suspension pack? I was told KW didnt do front dampers with the correct spacing, by KW uk!!!

 

[biglad58]

lookin good, gimme

same here. i thought it was just for the non-cupped bolt spacing. :S

You will need to do a little bit of bodging to fit them if you have a Cupped model, but nothing thats going to cause any huge problems.

I have helpped fit a set to a cup model and it was just a case of re drilling and welding a new plate in, unfortuntely it invlalids the warranty. but hey they are fuking awsome when you set them up right.

 

[Mikey]

[Middo]

post a pic of the rear spring so i can see if they've changed it from the linear one i had in my set. if they havent changed it to something that resembles the eibach/H&R setup i'd send them back

Will this cup thing be the same problem with all coilovers or just KW's??

 

[Ad]

Will this cup thing be the same problem with all coilovers or just KW's??

some manufacturers make them for the cupped 182 and others done.

ones that do off hand:
H&R
Gaz:dead:
Leda


dont:
FK
KW
Blistein

there maybe others just cant think of them atm.

yep as ad says the top three are your best bet

ledas you are looking at around 1200/1300 +fitting and set up
h&r's around 700 +fitting and set up
gaz around 500 iirc +fitting and set up

ive had gaz on mine for 2years with no problems they are perfect for my use which is fast road. h&r's are a bit softer than the gaz and from what ive heard the ledas are literally on par with the h&rs

h&r's are the peoples choice on here but you are looking at 1K for purchase and full set up and allignment
