Yesterday I dropped the V off to have KW coilovers put in. I went to the Met game last night, and it wasn't ready before I left, so I picked it up before work this morning.
First impressons... much better then before, but I didn't really know what to expect. Steering feel is amazing, but I feel the bumps in my ass and legs through the seat. I'm sure it's just me being anal, and it will go away with time, I just have to get used to the sensitivity. On the highway the car feels like butter. Pavement to bridge transitions are non existant, and it's really smooth versus what I expereinced at low speeds.
I was able to take a jug handle that I am very familiar with, and was surprized at how little to no body roll there is.
The car's stance has been lowered 1"
There was a problem though. When going to do the alignment, the rear toe adjusters were frozen. They were able to heat the right and get it moved, but the left is done. Luke if you are reading, I need two... So the car's not 100% right and I didn't want to totally push it.
One thing, or question I have is about the end links. They said when they were going to put on the links, they are too short??!! I know the are much shorter then stock, but I figured lowering the car would make the difference. Maybe the sway bar is upside down. They explained it to me that attatching it would put the bar at a wierd angle. Is that right? Expert opinons welcome.
I was only able to snap this pic with the camera phone for now, but here's what the kit looks like... I bout it from a local VW/Audi tuning place that was on the KW website as an authorized dealer (peace of mind).
