WARNING before buying Weistec Sleeve Kit for Coupe

Weistec said they have done coupes in house (they said). The kit that we have been trying to install works fine in the front, but the C63 coupes have different rear control arms and the rear won't go lower than stock on the lowest setting.

Let's see what they come up with by Monday or I am returning asap for KW HAS kit that is coming.

Just keeping people in the loop before they buy this kit for the coupe. I will let you know how it plays out.

The front does look good though

Thanks for the update mate... that's a pretty big oversight on their behalf.

Cheers,
Scar

I figured the rear suspension on this car would be different then the sedan. The entire rear end suspension has been completely redone. I wonder if full coil overs will work?

KW said their specific HAS kit will work. Coming to the US this week, but I am waiting on a work around from Weistec. Otherwise back they go and I will get the KW.

As for the full KW kit..that's a good question.

Good to know, thank you!

Also, did you wrap or paint the grill? - Looks great!

Weistec is engineering new rear springs. Props to them. Should have an update later this week.

Good to hear that they're going to take care of you! Sounds like a stand up company. Keep us updated.

KW told me "Keep a look out at Sema".
