The rear is lowered a minimum of .2″ and a maximum of 1.8″ over stock due to the shortened strut that KW developed.
It really spoke to me when Klaus said, “The fact we are living in the countryside, we have very bad road conditions and your tuned up car is simply no fun to drive.” This was my chief concern modifying the suspension in my car. Sure a high performance suspension is great on the track, but 99% of us drive cars on the street and I’d like those positive handling characteristics without the compromise of a ride that’s too rough. Which leads to his next point, “We do not expect to produce anything else other than the best possible solution. Suspension is always a compromise; there are different categories and products depending on what our customers are aiming for.”
As one last measure of adjustment: our rebound adjustment in the rear would not be adjustable because it’s both covered by the rear seats and inaccessible due to the top dust shield. Howard drills a hole in the shield.
Then he drills a hole in the top of the rear shock towers and installs KW’s rebound extension.
