Default KW V1 Pictures?

Is anyone on this forum running KW V1s? If so do you have any pictures of your setup? The reason I ask is cause I wanna know how low they can go.

this might help. I've been checking myself. I'm about to pull the trigger on the KW v2s. From a month or so of research it seems that they may go as low as 2-3" but 1.5 is recommended for best performance. Don't quote me cause I'm not done researching. Also try search in different ways to find good threads about KW. Such as KW, KW v1, KW variant, KW coilovers... There's lots out there. Some titles have nothing to do with KW but people talk about them in the thread.

^ Hmmm... I don't like that that's the lowest they can go. I wanna stick with an OEM style coilover but it seems that none of them can go low enough.

How low are you looking to go, you will probably just need some Stance crap.

I basically just want to eliminate wheel gap. I want the fenders to be flush with the tires.

KW will easily do that, all you need is about 1 inch up front and 1.25ish out back.

^ Ya that's a perfect stance imo. Dumped is nice to look at but the fact that it's beyond useless is just a turnoff to me.

You CANNOT adjust a setup without full height adjustablity that much. We're talking about a setup that adjusts height via spring preload.

Kw recommends a drop range of .8" to 1.5". As you drop closer to the max range your willingly giving up bump travel. Go past their max drop specs and your making the bump stops a bigger and bigger player. NOT a good idea

Kept within their recommended drop range, it's a great product.
