Wheels & KWv2 Installed

NotYet · 04-13-2007, 06:08 AM

Ok, so the biggest mod of my life is now complete!!!! MOZ Dinner Roll wheels (22x9.5, +15 offset) wrapped in 265/30/22 Nitto iNVO tires. I planned on lowering the car all along but as soon as I saw the car come out of the bay w/ the new wheels I knew it HAD to be lowered. It was darn near a 4x4 truck! I lowered it w/ the KWv2 coilover kit. I went from a 4 finger gap in the wheel well up front to a tight 2 finger gap. Rear went from 5 to 2.5 fingers. I'm not quite satisfied w/ the pictures I took as it doesn't make it look as low as it actually is. Here are a few before/after pics (I'll post more later).

I will withhold my thoughts on how it handles until I get a chance to drive it a few more hundred miles but so far so good.

Looks great. The before and after pics definitely tell the story. The 300 looks absolutely stunning lowered with aftermarket wheels.

Looks hot man!!! I bet your excited like crazy!!

It looks nice with the drop, looked like a tank before!

Are the springs still settling a little?? I'm sure they are, then you can make adjustments from there. I know you still probably wanna drop it a little more. Looks hot man, can't wait for my springs to get here!!!!

Congrats, looking good!

Did you do install the lowering kit yourself, or did you have it done? If the latter, mind if I ask how much installation cost you?

Great Wheel and it's awesome with the KW2s.

By the way how close is that nut above your tire on the inside of your wheel well?? I mean that suspension arm piece with the lug nut on the bottom.

Chase: the nut has PLENTY of clearance. The angle of my pics just dont reflect it. I'll try and post another pic later that shows it.

INeedMorePower: No way in heck did I attempt this myself. hehe Install price was $495 (the highest quote I received was $1500-$2000, uh NO).
