A few pics after kw1s fitted. Excuse quality..it rained and was under a tree all night!
Just to give an idea of stance etc.
Its lowered 30mm at front..
And its lowered 20mm at rear..which is maximum.
I dont do 'slammed' so im happy 8)
Ok..hopefully this 1 captures the stance better..no shadow interferance. IMAG0231 by bennybro2, on Flickr
My impressions of the KW1`s?
Initially i was underwhelmed but having had them settle in and now carried out a few proper B road blasts i can safely say im impressed.
Whereas the cup suspension on mine could get out of shape over multiple bumps..the kws just absorb it in their stride and appear to be a lot more composed.
The springs feel slightly stiffer but the ride quality has improved as has the handling.
The next proper test is next weekend @ Woodbridge airfield day.
Will also be breaking my gfs trackday cherry 8)
Originally they were lowered 45mm at front but this proved no good for real life driving, speedbumps and any sort of slope. So after a full laser alignment/geo check it was raised by 15mm.
Overall i give the KW1`s a thumbs up!
These get fitted Thursday. (Yup im lazy..only unpacked 1!) IMAG0236 by bennybro2, on Flickr
Took the plunge after rave reviews by woody and a.n.other.
Sourced them direct for a great price too..Im a returning customer and a previous car of mine was used by them to develop their brake upgrades for the Nissan Gtir..back in..ahem..1998!
