KW Variant 3 Coilovers Installed...
Well I just got home from Wheels Boutique in Miami getting my KW V3's installed on my C63. And let me tell you that the ride feels so comfortable with no bounce and when doing sharp turns, it responds so well...I got the dampenings set right in the middle for both the front and rear. Not too soft, and not too hard...The rear is set to the lowest, and the fronts can still go lower. Now I'm just waiting on the 20inch HRE C93 wheels to arrive. I ordered them back in Dec and HRE is saying that the rears are in the box and ready to be shipped out...But the fronts are still waiting on the barrels. Hopefully in a week or two, they'll be ready. From what Ben from Wheels Boutique told me, I'm the first to order a set of the Competition Series HRE's in 20's in the US. They were just bumped up to 20's a couple of months ago. I guess for being the first, I have to wait. Thank God I have patience though. Till then, enjoy the pics and give me your opinions. Thanks

Great looking car. The front seems to be a tab bit higher than the rear tho.

Yeah since the wheels are almost here, I have it sitting like that...But when the wheels finally arrive, I'll play around with it. My goal is the have the fenders right on the tire on all four corners...

Btw thanks so far for the compliments...

I'll post up more pictures by the end of the weekend since tomorrow there's going to be a huge BBQ car meet down here in Miami, as pictures will be taken in the tons...

Hey Tuned, i installed my CF diffuser with WB and they did a really good job. I like the way those coilovers are set on the car, it looks hot. Anyways, your saying tomorrow there is a meet in the miami area? If you dont mind hooking me up with the location/time

I have KW's on my C63..I need to adjust the dampening on my car to a little softer..I also took the spare tire out..to help with weight..What tires are you going to use? You might rub a little in the passenger rear..just FYI..especially if your getting a more squared tire like the Invo...

The meet is going to be held at Crandon Park in Key Biscayne starting at around 12noon...Bunch of food, etc...The main cars are going to be a bunch of 350Z's and G's...They're all friends of mines from back in the days. I had a 350Z and a modified 08' Infiniti G37. But I'm always going to their meets. If you go, then we'll be the only Benzos there. PM me your number and I'll hit you up with mines. If you go tomorrow, call me up and I'll let you know where we're at..Once you pay the toll to enter in the park, I'll guide you from there.

The stock 18s actually look really good on a lowered car.
