Haha I hope they are killing you in a good way...

When is yours due? - which colour did you opt for?

I'm not too sure yet... taking it to the shop next week to get measured up.

Want to get it right

Can't wait to see your results with the KW and spacers mate.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the ride quality too once it's done.

Cheers,

Will do mate, will keep this thread updated

I don't think there will be much difference in the ride quality, I don't plan to go too low... just 15mm all around to give it a good stance.

Even at 15mm do you foresee clearance being a bit of an issue?

I'm still getting the handle on what I need to take easy when I'm going in/out of driveways, parking etc.

It may be that I'm still just a bit paranoid after only having it for 2 weeks. I guess looking back as long as your careful there really aren't any issue with the coupe. Just wild t want to lower it and then have to drive around like miss daisy anytime o go over something.

I'm pretty careful with that, I had good practice with the sedan haha...

But I think 10-15mm should be ok. Let's see how we go!

I'm getting KW height adjustable sleeves - which is good cause I can play around with the height to suit my need

Yes I've done some reading on it all and that's seems like a good way to go. Regarding the adjustments is it a simple DIY process or best to take it to a shop.

Sorry all a bit new to me.

All good man.

Yeah, I'm going to do it all at the shop... better get it done by the professional who installed it.

I will keep you updated next week - hopefully order the parts and get them installed

I'm sure once I've done it everyone will want to do the same, makes the car's stance so much meaner

They are both great products IMO - Its a personal preference.
Thx for reply, so basically You saing, that You liked much more cars coated with Modesta then with Ceramic Pro, in general..

I was very close to pulling the trigger and ordering the KW HAS, but I've heard it from many people including (if I'm not mistaken) JPBenz, haha, that the suspension and shocks of the car are not designed to work with shorter springs ... and that the struts might start to wear out after a while ...

any takes on that guys ?

Effects are negligible... I rather do that and keep all my electronic damping options.

Each to their own!

with the KW HAS, you'd still be able to use your damping settings located in the center console yes?

sanch, did you look into Weistec? heard its good as well ? might be less harmful (what they say, don't take my word for it)

Modesta ceramic coating completed... Exterior including wheels/ calippers and the inerior.

Have to say looks better than the ceramic pro I had on the sedan!

Tints left which will be done later this week...

Heading to the shop to measure up for spacers, KW HAS has already been ordered and should be here this week
