Coilovers
Anyone know if there is a fitment yet for coilovers. KW has the non AMG GLA and I think the CLA might work but can anyone confirm?

front springs, or coil overs. I need to lower this front end asap. No one knows what to do for this vehicle yet. Help! Any advice. I've called everyone local and no one knows for sure.

I am in the same boat as you. I have a weistec downpipe rebellion CAI and some other cosmetic stuff so far. BUT I JUST WANNA LOWER THIS THING! I feel like just an inch drop would make a drastic difference in handling, and it would look sick! It already looks basically like a hatch, with a lil drop no one would think of it as an crossover. Someone come out with something!

I just did 20mm spacers all the way around and that really helps this thing sit better, the rear looks lowered after spacing it out. Just need 1.5 inch drop in the front and it will be perfect. My Weistec mid, down pipe just arrived today. Cant wait for that to be installed.

I spacer all my cars. Some people will argue it's bad. I compare it to springs and coilovers. Springs work fine. Coilovers are the better way to do it. In my opinion spacers are safe and easy way to get the look. I track all my cars with spacers and never had a problem. Handling remains the same. Just my 2 cents.

Hello everyone.
I was in the same boat of wanting to lower the car so gave the KW V3 GLA 250 suspension a try and confirmed it works. My car is sitting at proper ride height and awaiting bronze volk te 37 ultras. Car rides better than stock and with fully adjustable dampening should be a hoot on track
Hope this helps!

Ya, you have to rake the car. Lower in the front higher in the back. that will look perfect. The photo shows the opposite which I hate the look of on any car.

This is great news. Would you say that the car handles significantly better than stock? Also does it rub at all?
Could you also post a picture from the rear of the car from about 20 feet away?
