I ran those springs and I didn’t like them on my F82. In fact, as nice as they looked for stance, the car didn’t handle as well. Lap times suffered too and the car bottomed out at the corkscrew at laguna seca. Once the springs were on the car the bottom 2 or 3 coils actually sat directly on top of each other. While I’m not an engineer, I would think that negates the actual use of the whole spring. Went back to stock and the car handled better again.
@BlakesGarage5 жыл бұрын
Did you have the first version or the recent ones? I really like the feel and the handling differences so far but I’ve yet to track it at Laguna. What bottomed out? As far as the spring stacking that’s fine. If you think of a coilovers with helper springs it’s exactly the same thing. That just helps with droop out, if you didn’t have that when the car gets light the spring could move around and change orientation. So far I love them but if I do coils I’ll definitely do a video on that.

It looks as if I could just break the 18mm out and pull out the stock strut, then put in the KW. I haven't found a definite answer though.
@BlakesGarage5 жыл бұрын
If your doing coilovers you’ll have to remove everything because you need to get to the Esocket bolts on the top hat. You have to remove stuff so you can get to the 3rd bolt. It isn’t hard just time consuming. Also make sure to have the correct tools like you mentioned. Unless it uses stock top hats, but I’m pretty sure the KW’s have there own with a bearing in it.

I usually do coilover installs myself just trying to do all my research so I don't find myself missing something in the middle of the install haha.

Shaddy Zayour you don’t have to remove the other stuff then. Just use a jack under the control arm/knuckle to compress the spring. But you will definitely want the spreader tool. Should be pretty dang easy that way. I would recommend aftermarket top hats for camber adjustments in the future.

There amazing you can't go better than swift. The people that were complaining were the first run group and the changed them later on. Watch the end of the video I drive around and talk about them. Ride height it's perfect. Absolutely love the ride and look. Also you have to remember the ride should be stiffer as the spring rates are firmer to compensate for the drop so your not constantly bottoming out the dampers. So far I absolutely love them had them on for two weeks so a new squeak or anything.
@BlakesGarage5 жыл бұрын
@Thomas Rock Yeah maybe something like that. Really I'm loving them the car feels amazing like it should have from the factory. Much sharper turn in most likely from the additional front camber gain. Then the car has much less body roll. Its not bumpy or uncomfortable it feels just like the car maybe did in sport compared to comfort. So basically like everything is clicked up on notch I'd say sport ++ for Sport + now
