Suspension I finally have achieved that perfect drop (for me)
I finally have achieved that perfect drop (for me)
So I started out last summer with an H&R Touring Cup Kit, which dropped the car 1.4" all around. I was not happy with the overly raked stance, and more importantly it made my car have that weird "vibration after lowering" problem (those of you who don't know about this, it's easily searchable). Some cars have it, some don't.
From what I read on these forums, people who had this issue and had coilovers were able to raise their suspension in tiny increments until the vibration went away. Well, not only have I done that with my new KW V1's, but I achieved what I think is a nice even drop.
**DISCLAIMER**
My car hasn't had a bath in over a week, so please disregard the dead bugs on my front bumper
Also, I will be putting JCW R113 Gloss Black 18"s on as soon as my Continental Extreme Contact DWs come off of backorder....

Looks great! I just installed the ST's (which are the same as the KW V1's, as I understand.) and I've got a similar drop. I am having some vibration at around 110KMH, wondering if I just need to raise it up a few threads. I was hoping the alignment and lower control arms would fix it when I go in for that next week.
Thanks! The vibration I (and others) experience after lowering is really under acceleration and really shakes the front end at lower rpms under boost. You should also check tire balancing if it's speed specific... And congrats on the ST coilovers! They're identical to the V1s except the KWs are stainless steel instead of galvanized steel and have a lifetime warranty
