    the KW's are a great balance of handling and comfort. I'm not seeing any reason to upgrade them at this stage unless I find them lacking on the track.

    The height looks great, but the sump is the first thing that gets hit, and not something I want to repair.
    I'd suggest it would bottom out on anything thats not very smooth, so it'll go up 20mm or so

                  These will go on tomorrow, along with a lift of the front coilovers, and a wheel alignment.




                  Looks like since they are replicas that ECS Stage 5 brakes wont fit, so looking at stage 2 (boxster calipers), which will clear easily.
                  Stg5 would be overkill anyway, so saves me some money.

                                Ordered some stuff today to fix up interior parts
                                Arm rest delete kit - to get rid of the stupid arm rest as it just gets in the way
                                New glovebox lid as the current one doesnt close properly
                                new mirror switch

                                OEM mk4 R32 steering wheel (maintains factory airbag, better leather and proper fingerholds)


                                also upgrading the brakes with an ECS tuning stage 2 kit:


                                312mm slotted rotors
                                porsche monoblock 4 piston calipers
                                braided lines
                                pads + fluid

                                going for silver to match the std rear calipers, and wanting to keep the "OEM tuned" look.
