I read somewhere don't remember where but KW coilovers will not fit the SPL midlink which blows because I just ordered some V2's and I don't want to use SPC toe bolts 
.... suggestions? sorry for stealing the thread just need this question answered

Ya see i know the rear shock mount bushing on the top of the rear spindle gets abused but even with all the tracking i do on my car i have yet to kill it.......its still good...
but yes, i would replace with the spl bushing over run oem coilovers any day and eliminate the need for the crappy spc toe bolts and using a spring bucket........and the cost for the spl pro midlink is not worth it to me, if that, i would rather spend more money on more coilovers..
I considered this when telling him about true coilovers because he said its a normal daily driven car.......do you really feel he will kill the shock bushing if he runs true coilovers??? im sincerely asking because every car i have worked on i have yet to see that one tear bad or be horrible, off centered or weaked yes, but not blown or eaten as you say???

It never really tore it but it appeared to put a lot of stress on a bushing as if it's not meant to handle that much of a load.
What's the deal with the SPC toe bolts? I've had them on with my Stance coilovers and my KWs

^^just have heard from too many people that the SPC toe bolts move around too much...was wondering if there was a different approach rather than using spc toe bolts...

I believe Jason created a fix for the SPC bolt, im sure a search would pull it up in here. Maybe DIY as well, cant remember.

yeah I read the suspension 101 post and he did say getting a higher grade bolt and having a local shop cut a grove in it to use the eccentric washers but I was wondering if there was another way around it hahaha

.... suggestions? sorry for stealing the thread just need this question answered I appreciate it VERY much in advancethe only real thing you need to know is the rate of the spring that comes with the kw's--they are progressive, so pick what rate you want in that spread. then order the midlinks with swift spring that you want, install the eccentric lockouts and enjoy. you can even try to sell the kw rear spring/adjuster to recoup some money.
