Actually, I talked with KW and maybe I can get a replacement springs of 50-170 to substitue my current 50-200 that I have at the front. Then I should be able to lower the car more (as I wrote, it dropped only like 20-25mm at it is already in its lowest position). @Racecomp Engineering do you think it is a good workaround?

I have the following setup:
Front: rebound 10 clicks from full stiff, bump 7 clicks from full stiff
Rear: rebound 9 clicks from full stiff, bump 8 clicks from full stiff


I have aprox. 40mm lowered (and had to jack up the front quite a bit).
The ride quality is great with this setup.


Can you show a picture of your front coils? I found it very weird as my fronts were actually really easy to slam.

I disassembled the coilover and took these pics

At this perch height, I get -26mm drop (340mm wheel hub to fender), and I measured aprox. 32mm of bump travel to the "start" of bumpstop, and 43mm droop

It's like the cs top mounts behave the same height as oem mounts. Quite confusing since already 3 persons in this thread agree obtaining a different result @marco_mc22 @Racecomp Engineering

cool thanks. At the end, I took the coilover to a shop to make sure everything is in order, and it is apparently. I put the ride height at F 331mm/R 340mm and it should be ok. I measured front droop and calculated that bump travel might be around 25-28 mm at the spring

Probably the CS top mounts don't add more than 5mm of bump travel

@KiK did you refine your bump/rebound adjustment?
