1.25" - 1.5" is a perfect drop for stock wheels imo.

Are you planning to change your wheels?

UnOvertime · 06-10-2013, 09:23 PM

Down the line I will, right now the wheels I like are too expensive, I won't pay 3k for a set of wheels. I want to stick with 17" as well. Probably in the next 6 months I will change them out.

Is Tarmac 0 just a rebranded KW V1?

What kind of spring stiffness would you recommend for 1.25" drop yet maximum comfort?

Does it change the price as well if I change my spring stiffness?

You can look at the Tarmac 0's that way. They have the same function as the V1 and are made by KW even though we don't have V1's offered for our car.

I have the 280 all the around. Pricing shouldn't change if you decide to go with different spring rates.

Not necessarily "rebranded" as much as custom valved. So, more like a "Moto-Spec" RSR vs. an OTS RSR coilover.

I think RCE should have included the CONICAL WASHER on the package of the Tarmac 0's or in T2's and V3's. :/

We can do that for you if you like...we also have the option to send them to you fully assembled with preliminary settings set.
