          Hence my apprehension haha. Didn't want to get stuck halfway through should I run into any issues.




          Got it back this arvo, ride quality is great. Its weird it feels less agressive on bumps on the road Then stock and sits a good 3-4inches lower. My first impressions are KW coils are a great bit of kit

                      Pretty much eliminated any roll it had from the factory. The harsh crashes you get with the standard suspension are gone as far as i've noticed, hasn't happened since.

                      I got the V1 Inox's, they really are no harsher than the standard shocks. If anything more compliant over small bumps but much tighter when cornering.

                      • Couple more pics.
                        Dropped it another 10mm all around today, the rears are as low as it will go on the perch (still 2 threads remaining). It could go another 10-15mm if I were to remove the threaded nut the spring sits on but no need unless you were going for an epic low stance.
                        Fronts still have about 20-30mm adjustment from what I can see so if you wanted you could get a fair bit of tuck going in the front end.

                        Anyway heres the pics, just need my BBS CH 18x8 35p Reps to arrive for a bit more flush and i'll be happy with the looks.
