Purple and yellow means KW coilovers. I highly recommend them!

Marc,

Just from the picts on this page alone.. wow!.. if you feel the lil hairs on the back of your neck starting to stand up.. that's me stalking.. no worries. I'm not afraid to dumpster dive ;-)

Kidding.. you never know what you're going to come up with!.. LOL

Great stuff for sure.

Nice. Marc, do yhey decide on spring rates for you or do you request what you want? Also, what is the bottom adjustment for?

It would be nice to get those but damn they are pricey..

you request what you want. Mine are 400 all the way around, but the nice thing is that its easy and reasonably inexpensive to put in different springs later if you want.

Also, what is the bottom adjustment for?

compression.

not really, when you compare it to other setups of comparable quality. Your entry level ohlins is around $1000 per corner.

V3's!!!!??? Noooice! Looks like santa took a wrong turn at Albequoiiiiky, those were supposed to come under MY Xmas tree! :wink:

just updated my 034 config to disable waste spark. Got it wrong the first time around because the cam sync was 180 out from the firing order so I just had to shift the phases and it fired right up. Summer tires are still on the car so I'll be taking it easy on my way down to CT. Just a short trip to the bank was 'interesting' :-D

What's the tender spring's lbs rate? Those extra springs are tender springs rite?

a_CQ · Post by **a_CQ** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 3:48 pm

Should be effectively 0.

PSA: stock coupe transmission will not reliably hold 400+whp. Just ask my 4th gear which is somewhere on the side of 495 in Mass :bashtard:

Ouch I take it there is a hole in the tranny and your not gonna make it to the dyno? :(

Whoops!

Marc, if you weren't such a badass, you wouldn't have 400whp and the tranny problems that go with it!

Surely nice hardware from KW, but if I were them I'd look for a new decorator!

So much for the "good used CQ tranny"

maybe it got mad at you when you gave it the two weeks notice :?

That dirty old lump needs some e-z bake action!

Plenty to keep you away from turning to a life of crime and debauchery this winter!
