Thanks to Jason from WheelPower (your da Man!) for getting the Kw's fast!!!:D I dropped them off to Qais and Mark @ SouthBay Autohaus to get the transplant going:D ...Dinan shocks and springs and camber plates (best setup i have so far) and soon to be for sale:D...I have no problem or whatsoever with the Dinan setup it's just that i want to lower and be able to play with the compression and tweak LoLa a little bit more...

Everybody said LoLa's stands pretty well with the Dinan Setup but i always feel that i need to lower her more (1 inch;) ) without rubbing:laughhard:...When I saw Jo@eurodyne with his KW V2's I said to myself I need to get this:D

Thanks Nerwyll :)

congrats Chris =)

I can't wait either, we'll drop it as low as possible and hopefully my tires and wheels won't hae to do the rolling of the fenders:D the only gripe i am anticipating is i have to back up when parking, my hamman front lip will be used as a scraper and i am afraid that my headers would hit aswell that's why after the install i might have to let Southbay autohaus custom fabricate a shield on the bottom for the headers...next stop led lights and 8 piston calipers:D

Can't wait to see the stance! :D

LoLa is done the ride nice ( i need to drive it more to compare it to the dinan s3) BUT i want more lowered!!! so Mark@southbayautohaus will be adjusting the height:D

I drove LoLa around 300 miles already for one week and she settled pretty well, no rubbing issues or whatsoever (with Kim as the only passenger:D)...corners very well and rebounds well on dips, it is definitely a little stiffer than the Dinan setup i had, the KW's really helped LoLa as she is rolling on 20's...

Congrats on the nice setup Chris! man you guys r making me think about my suspension more and more...and I swore I wasn't gonna mess with it...and Jayare keeps sayin i got a lift lol...im gonna wait till my next set of rubber and save up to do it all at once i think...I need to run 275 in the rears so they wont rub...

Thanks Fidel, no worries and don't rush it, i had spme rubbing issues with the dinan S3 suspension (not bad) but i want something i can adjust the compression and the rebound so i can lower her as much as possible:D, now i am much lowered than my dinan setup about 1 inch lower and i don't have any more rubbing (Mark@Southbay AutoHaus dialed the KW's to the T)...I think i'm the only guy who went with 2 suspension in 6 months:laughhard: that's why i say again take your time on modding your beast but don't take too long Mfest 3 is in April;)
