Anyone running KW Springs?

I found a local shop with these on sale. 1.3inch drop. Is that too much drop to run on stock struts? If anyone is running these, please post pics so I can get an idea of how low they go. Thanks

IMO the stock struts should not be dropped more than a couple of mm. There's just no suspension travel to spare so handling and ride quality will kinda suck. But that's just me and plenty of people do it anyway, some say they like it. 1.3 inches is a heck of a lot either way.
