You will be good with KW V3. Looks at mine. I even have a body kit, which affects front clearance.

You will be good if you just want your car looks like the one in the pic. You can drop more, and you will not have any problem once you learn how to drive a dropped car.

For wide front tires you need more negative camber, so u might need top mounts.

The KW V3 can go really low if you use your stock uppermounts. If you go with aftermarket uppermounts you might lose some drop. My suggestion would be to go with a manufacturer like RCE who has likely designed their mounts to retain suspension travel rather than limit it.

This is with stock top hats and rear LCAs, so no camber adjustment.

I just put RaceSeng CasCam plates on the front and SPL adjustable LCAs on the rear and I'm hoping to get an alignment this weekend. The show stopper will be whether or not my car can get on the alignment rack.

now, driving this car low isn't that hard, just angle EVERYTHING. with that said, KW isn't really hte slam your car coild over, as posted above get taiwanese stuff for slamming a car.

with all that said, the v3's will get you pretty low, i had maybe another 1/2" to go in the front if i wanted to be cool

here is a picture of how my car sat for a week or two being "low"







the frs you posted looks like its on 17's though. i'm on 18's with a big tire (i dont believe in stretch)

p.s. my kw's are actually for sale if you're looking for a good deal/a mint set. look up my threads if you have more questions, i was running whiteline com-c tophats, with other tophats you will probably be able to go lower...
clean, clean car
