What about in the rear of the car? I may be wrong but it feels like the stock suspension runs out of travel when accelerating out of bumpy corners on the backroads around here. That and better control in transitions are really my biggest complaints about the stock suspension for back road driving. |

The SS1 will ride slightly better out of the box and still perform really well, even with r-comps. The ceiling is just a little lower in comparison to the T2s. - Andrew |

These are zinc coated stainless steel, does that mean they’re closer to the ST coilover instead of the inox steel from the KWV1’s?
I’m worried about corrosion affecting these coilovers in the long run. |

Kind of a more general question, since your products are made by KW, which products are tested with their 7 post rig? Are the T1, T2, T3, and SS1 all tested this way?

Any estimate on the camber adjustment range the plates allow?

More recently, Myles seeing how KPAX uses a shake rig with their Bentley GT3 cars has just been pretty cool. - Andrew |

Also, FYI...the camber plates are nice and quiet.

FYI you can get -2.2 camber up front if you get a set of the OEM camber bolts without even touching the camber plate. We can supply the bolts if needed.

I have had these on for about 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoy them. They are much more streetable then my 4 year old buddy club racing coilovers. There is a lot more adjust ability and you can tell the valving/spring combination are thoroughly matched (better then stock ride quality). I am running about 6 clicks in the front and 3 in the rear from full soft. This makes commuting great while still allowing for good road feel/feedback. I get a alignment Friday and then will dial in more of a backroads setting for a better start point when I track it next year. I waited on the alignment since I didnt change the ride height much from the previous setup and made sure to mark all chamber bolts to ensure they were installed back the same. The spring perch collars are super easy to adjust and love the locking allen bolt concept over dual locking collars.
Pictures wouldnt upload, so I will edit them later at home. -Alex

And if you run the SPC lobed bolts in the lower hole with the lower bolts in the upper hole, you'll be closer to -4* without touching the camber plates! I maxed out at -3.8* on my V3's with that bolt combination.
