I was thinking of getting it too. Unfortunately i have no money just now.

Anyway, Monty77 had it on his coupe, and bigged it up a lot.
Someone else had it, but i cant remember, possible beast?

Oh, and i think the rear height is fixed at -45mm with the front being adjustable.

I dont have any experience of the KW's but plenty with FK's. I would say think very carefully about what you want from your car if you are planing to fit coilovers. They are a compromise toward track handling and can have some adverse effects on ride quality on bumpy roads.

So it is better to go for the eibach springs then.
Mutch cheaper and lowers about one inch ore more?

If you get the springs, you'll need shocks to match. Bilsteins are highly recommended, but again not cheap.

There's another thread in this section about springs and shocks, loads in there.

I have K&W on mine and it's a pretty rough ride with low profile tires. Think the car is lowered to the limit as fron tires were shreding a bit of the plastic cover in the front.

If I ever have to change them I will go for KONI adjustables.
