Ride quality is not bad at all. Its alil bumpy right now but that should work itself out with new tires. all in all its pretty good even with stretched rubber.

it has been settling over the last two days so its been smoothing out. ill keep you posted...just waiting for KMAC to come thru with the camber adjustment, but with their service, it might be another 2 weeks til the part comes.

looks very sharp, perhaps a little more on the drop but I like what I see. How much did the KW V2 run with installation? What Chicago area are you in?

The only thing I've been told by my mechanic is that it should be in on Tuesday. Hopefully that's the case. I'll keep u posted. But from what I've read on here kmac sucks with their service and i guess it takes them forever to get parts to the US.

Looks good, I need to find the time to drive out and check out your ride. Want to know how these KW's handle. Any pics of the 10" from the rear?

Thanks all. I'll post some when I get the car back. The KWs handle great actually. It's a good track suspension. It can be alil rough of a ride at times on 19's especially in Chicagoland. but I was also on streched tires and needed an alignment. There is a pic of the rear on post #30 pic 2. I just wish it had fatter tires on it in that pic.
