Thanks for the specs. So drops are:

front: 2.375"
rear: 3"

KW's literature states drops of:

front: 5-30 mm (.2" - 1.18")
rear: 20-40 mm (.78" - 1.57")

So as you can see, the actual drop after installing the KW's is quite a bit more than their literature claims. I actually would prefer to take the car down another 1/4", but don't think the small wheel wells will allow me to do so without rubbing on the upper, rear fender liner on big dips.

Thanks! No, I don't drive it daily...just about less than half the time.

Awesome setup! Could you please provide me with more information regarding the Swift springs? I'd like to buy a pair for my rears too (to use with my Kw v1s).

Where did you get them, how can I order them, and how much did you pay?



Thanks in advance!

That Looks HOT!

Too bad I drive my car to MI (The worst roads in the U.S.) too much to do a drop like that.

Lower! Lower! Lower!

You can do it!

Your smart had just taken the chrome auto show smart out my "favorite smarts" list.

Thanks in advance!

www.swiftsprings.com. They have a list of dealers. I bought mine locally. They offer a variety of spring lengths and spring rates to fit your needs. The one I bought was Z60-178-040

Those are really high end springs, nice looking ride.

Wow...you got the V1s? I thought they were on backlog indefinitely.

Race worthy in fact. I was helping tbone with some of these coil over springs. I would have preferred Hyperco (Welcome to Hyperco) since I actually raced those. But they have limited selections for ID 60mm.

FYI, Hyperco matches springs by the pair and each pair of springs are measured to be within 10% of the nominal spring rate. I am pretty sure Swift has a QC at that level.
