I've used a 168 bulb if I remember right, it's have the similar wattage than the oem bulb.

Did you use a wiring kit? For the bulbs to plug in?

I've made one.

Update incoming, I've decided to replace my current ST X coilover set for a stiffer kit with the Greddy/KW kit.

I should have it in 2-3 weeks can't wait to test them !

What made you decide to go for the Greddy kit from the ST?

They are all made by KW i think?

Sounds like he wants less compliance. The ST coils are pretty soft

Yup ST X, ST XTA and the KW/Greddy set are all made by KW in Germany.

The KW/Greddy set is basically a ST XTA set with a bit stiffer coils.

The ST X that I have is really soft like @DarkPira7e say, they feel like an OEM suspension. It's a really nice suspension for a street car.

I wanted stiffer coil, the KW quality and don't ask me why, the KW/Greddy were cheaper than the ST XTA.

Quick update on the KW/Greddy suspension kit:

It feel a bit stiffer but actually not that inconfortable compared to my ST X set. I'm still on setting up the height correctly (and actually I will raise the car a bit) but so far it feel just perfect, bit stiffer but nothing crazy. I've set the front rebond to 7/9 and the rear to 4/9. I kinda like a softer end and with the stiffer spring rate in the rear (F 6K/ R 7K) I hope it will drive like I want.

The car is not aligned right now so I'm a bit gentle with my testing.

Oh and just a quick tease of the car with the 57DR and the RS4. The car right now sit higher but damn it looked good haha

It's official, I buyed back my lease ! Quite happy that it's done.

I would be quite stupid to not buy back the car, I've paid 15 145$+ taxes and the lowest listing price determined by the Quebec registration agency is 19 800$.

The car will be finally aligned this week, I've set the ride height a bit higher and I can say that It's paid off. I did push the car on bumpy road and didn't scrape the lip so I'm happy ! The suspension combo with the TRD Japan brace + TRD USA sway bars and the KW/Greddy coilovers is perfect for my taste, neutral and easy to play with. It's a great coilover kit for the price !

An other update, got the car aligned but the rear camber wasn't equal so I've bought SPC rear camber arm and I will get the car aligned again.





Today in a small ride around my town I've spotted this Ruf inspired 911 and I had no choice to take some picture with my boxer friend.

Are you using the 3500 or 5000 model?
