What If I Exceeded my lowering limit
My KW V1s are installed, but I can go lower. What would happen If I dropped it another 0.5" past the limit in the front?

What exactly do u mean by past the limit?
If you've reached the limit on the coilover, wouldn't that mean u can't go any lower?

I am also confused what he means. If your at the limit, you can't go lower.

Seeing as you're a highly regarded Doctor of *****, I'm sure you'll have the scratch to purchase a new set of coilovers if you're current ones go bad after the drop

You will have dimished ride quality than KW designed them for. The damper life will be shorter and of course your suspension geometry will be off causing increased roll.
Most people don't seem to care about the about, moar low gives best parking lot points

Oh f**k, Pookie made parole?
Back on topic... OP, why do you ask this? Might as well have bagged it and run it aired out to emulate that hovercraft look.

In to find out what "limit" the OP is talking about, and how he can go past it.

I would guess he means by max lowering limit that the coilover body still has plenty of thread left on it when set at the lowest dimension recommended by manufacturer. This is how my Bilsteins are. When I tried it bottomed out, it drove like crap because there was not enough travel for the the shock to work. It would probably also cause shorter life.

You will have a bad ride quality and reduce the life of your coilovers...
But if you are willing to ride like that, more power to you!
