Finally Lowered with Wheels
I finally lowered my MCS. I lowered with KW v2 with about a 2 1/4 inch drop all the way around. The ride so far is very nice. I thought since it was that low the ride would be very harsh and stiff but I was wrong. Very smooth and comfortable ride. The wheels are the OZ Alleggerita HLT in Anthracite.

What size are your rims and your tires? Did you get anything else for the suspension besides the coilovers? Looks awesome.

Did you had to use spacers to clear the front KWs with those wheels?
