KW Variant 1 installed
Finally took some pics after I got the KW Variant 1's installed. The rears are set all the way down. Installed a couple of weeks ago, so they have had plenty of time to settle. I know some people don't think it's low enough, but it's plenty low for a daily driver and if you're not going for the "flush" scene, and plus these are some of the most comfortable coilovers I have ever ridden in.
Varrstoens are for sale:
19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +12's
255/35 285/35 Falken FK452's
Future plans:
18" RPF1 (black or blue, can't decide)
V1 or Mine's lip (don't know if this will be manageable unless I raise the car a bit more)

and after taking a brief moment to consider KW I threw them out and was set on Stance, again... dam... lookin good. I like, I like. 
Probably right about what I had in mind so definitely going to re-consider KW's. I was told their comfort would be better which led to me consider KW to begin with. I don't think I'd go lower for a daily Summer driver either. I'm also planning on putting either a Chargeseed or TS front lip & either Nismo or Chargespeed skirts; unsure about rear. Plenty of time to think about it. Parking soon for the Winter, 19" Volk TE37SLs on order, get coils early 11 and everything installed before I roll out of storage next Spring.
can't wait. might not even end up sitting that low once all is said and done. Gives me a general idea though & did I mention I like it. 
seriously... I really like it. Looks great! also take into account if you plan on adding side skirts it's going to look lower than it really is. 
straight stock setup, DD, I think it's saweet!
since you're at max drop you running rear camber and a-arms? just rear camber? nothing but coils? from what I've gathered KW will drop a little over 1.5" sound about right?

how high is the highest setting for the KW Variant 1?
is it about stock height?
if it is set at the highest level, would the benefits of the coilovers be minimal?
