KW coilovers not low enough. Please help

So I'm dropped on kw's and I'm not low enough in the back. How can I get another inch drop on the back?

I dont think you can get an inch but you can do the springmount mod.

If you shave the rear upper spring seats of as much material as you can, while still keeping their function intact. You can gain .8" in rear drop.


Thing is, the Kw coilover doesn't have dampers you can adjust for length. Any addition drop mean's your going to compromise ride quality because you'll be into the bumpstops more.

KW uses an adjustable rear spring upper mount in place of the rubber OEM mount. So you can't use the spring mount mod. According to KW, 1 inch is the max drop in the rear.

KWs are really a performance coil instead of a slam coil. You'd be better off selling them and switching to a coil like HSD or Stance.

However, you can remove a collar (what the spring sits on) and you can probably gain about 10mm in drop. But that's basically going to max out the KWs.
