KW coilovers - how much height adjustability?

[NotYet]

What is the maximum amount of drop (in inches) for the KW coilovers. I don't recall ever seeing this info. I know they're adjustable but I'm just curious to know what is the MAX attainable drop. Eibach springs come in 1.6" and 2" setup (non adjustable though).

I already dropped my car a good bit after putting on the 22s, but I'm having the shop re-drop it tomorrow (another 5/8" up front and another full inch in the rear). I'll have the full measurements tomorrow.

I measured my fender height before I installed my KW's. However, the day I finished the installation it rained, hailed and finally snowed on me. By the time I finished the records I took were wasted (I had set them in the box sitting beside the car).
Arrghh!

The KW's will drop the nose more than you would want. I had to raise mine after a week.
The rear won't drop as far, but there are ways to drop it past the design max buy removing the adjustment collar entirely... I won't be doing that, but I will be dropping the rear a bit more than I now have it.

So you are saying that the KWs will drop the nose after a while of driving?

Right now I just got the KW v2s and the front seems slightly higher than the rear. I really wanted the front to be lower than rear like stock. So will the front drop after a while?

How long you had them on Chase? My shop told me they wouldn't settle much after the first few days. So if you're still nose-high, I'd suggest lowering the front some more.

Any pictures?

I had heard that they would drop, but I did not notice anything dramatic. Since I lost my notes I couldn't confirm anything.
I raised the nose because I had initially set the nose too low, especially once I put on the new wheels.

I just got mine on today.

My rear is like 1 finger and front is 2 finger.. It's backwards.. I wanted front with 1 and rear with 2..

I may have to go back to GSM to have them readjust it

Definitely wanna get that corrected. 1 finger up front, 1.5 fingers in rear. G'luck!!!
