Dumped (Re: springs and shocks)

[SC@WORKS]

tbone28, we're glad you like it. The first KW installation went very smooth and we were impressed overall. As we continue to do more and more Smart work at Sears Point, all of the race shops are starting to ask what these Smarts are all about.

With coilovers and springs, we can also perform corner balancing and accurate wheel alignments.

Also, enthusiasts are reporting great pedal feel with the Smarter/WORKS front brake lines and fluid.

Sears Point as in Infineon? How much for the coilovers installed? I'm in SF. Are you guys aligning afterwards?

Also when you put one or two people in the car it sits considerably lower.

Did you realign it afterwards? if so did it could they get it back to spec or does it require and sort of camber/caster kit?

I'm not sure how much downward travel has decreased, but the KW's come with shortened shocks so suspension travel is still good.

I have not aligned it yet, but Works can align for you. I was in a rush to go to work after the install, so alignment will come later.

If you are in SF, definitely have this done through Works. Pete was great to work with and addressed my concerns throughout the process in a very professional way. I would not hesitate to go back there again.

TBONE, Looks great, probably handles great too. In the Midwest, I would plow into alot of snow at that height.

Thanks, Clint! BTW, what's this thing you call snow?

My questionis, how is the body roll with that setup? I have the Brabus also w/ stock (Brabus) suspension and it has more body roll than I like.

SC are you running Smarts on track? I have been running mine @ Porsche club DE's here in Colorado. I just got my KW's and will install for last DE in October. Was hoping you could share some base set-up info. I am also running 215/35-17 front and 225/35-17 rear. Thanks

You are going to die, the engineers made it 4x4 high and mini van spongy for a reason.













I'm still wondering what that reason was!
LOOKS GREAT!
