UPDATE 10/2/2012 Just installed the coils this past weekend...totally worth the hours put in! but need to go a bit lower

so far im loving the kw's, handling feels much much better...feels like im more in control even though I can still feel the tail wanting to slide out a little, much easier to correct. Car definitely feels planted and gives me more confidence in cornering. I feel like there is so much more to these struts but all I need are some stickier tires! Can't wait to try these babies at the track! Ride comfort somewhat similar to stock, still need to mess around with settings but to be honest, it is only a BIT more rough but no where near unbearable or much noticeably uncomfortable ( you could always adjust it anyways) . I'd highly recommend these for those who want DD comfort with performance. ONTO THE PICS!

Looks great. Did you get camber plates and control arms as well.

Nope not yet! I think the fronts should be ok with camber adjustment for now but for the rears im most likely going to get control arms sooner or later. Just waitin on the wheels to see how they fit.
