ok....KW's are ON...OMG...it is a sexy beast and man is it 'PLANTED'..... There is at least an inch of clearance between the tire and the Strut... sooo Camber isn't going to be an issue...AT ALL.. will easily fit 265's..if needed... So...STX...STR.....BRING IT...Its amazing how much Decent suspension does to a car...Installation...I give a 6...the front was no problem..however the ABS and Brake line is routed kinda funky..but I adapted and overcame the Rear.. was a bit more stubborn...but I got it...finally.. Stock 14mm rear sway is on now..with Kartboy links..running Recommended settings for now.. went on a short 'test' drive... I can't wait to get this thing on the course now......I LOVE the KW's...easy to tune... and pretty easy to adjust....I was going to have an event tomorrow but I didn't get to the alignment ...so Monday after work...then I also need to corner weight it.....so far...I am absolutely Beyond pleased with the KW's...They Got it right....On to the pics..
Stock Front Strut assembly....12.6 lbs... KW Front Strut assembly... 12.9 lbs... Fronts.... adjusting the ride height.. Front ...After adjustment...about a 1 inch gap between the top of the tire and fender... Coool thing of note...All 4 fenders are Factory Rolled..so nooo issue whatsoever with fitment... Obligatory Side shot.. and...the Side Profile shot...soooo Sexy.. Can't wait for Cent Divs Next week in Milwaukee.... running up our good buddy Neal Tovsen...and his wife in STX...should be interesting.. ...we'll see how it does against a well prepped Bimmer.. More later Bill

I know it would be a pain, but it would be nice to see a shot of the car with the coils at full height and full drop.

I emailed AirRex for specs so I can add this kit to our list, but nobody has replied yet.

whats up with these standard suspension guys? they must be brand new. Ive never heard of them and I cant really find any info on them but their ride height seems like theyre my best option so far. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about them?
