Im sure the kw fronts are 45mm drop. Did a good job for me until the right coilovers turned up...

iv just taken the kw front springs off and fitted kw v2 front coilovers now. :)

Looking at advertising my standard fronts struts complete with kw springs and very nearly new skf top mounts as soon as i get a chance to take pics

The kw springs i had on before were a big improvement visually and handling wise. But the kw coilovers are a different league altogether!!

Alot firmer ride but handling is spot on now very little front end roll

i guess you get what you pay for with coilovers / lowering

I havent got them slammed prob got another inch to go down but im happy where they are until summer comes :)

Once the snow goes im going to whip the wheels off to paint calipers again. Will take some pics etc then.
