Default KW V3s and ST sway bars


I thought it would be a great idea to have a write up on my new found grip. I just had my motor fully built and added an ATP 35R turbo for some added power. believe me it has been fun but i wanted beef up my handling and my KYB struts and COBBs springs were not doing the job. The ride was OK to say the least but once I hit any imperfection in the road or pot hole my car would bottom out. I wanted to purchase something more street able but that can handle the road course as well as some AUTO X. I was looking into pretty much all the company and set myself to purchase KW Variant 3 coilovers or there reputation of being the best coilovers on the market hands down. To go with my V3s i also saw that KW made ST sway bars.
So i ordered a set. front is 22mm and rear is 24mm along with kartboy endlinks.
After the install the car had so much more response to it and had more than enough damping to handle any bumps. Out of the box the V3s felt amazing and i have yet to play with the rebound or compression. I'm sure my first track day i will be doing that. over all my car is a different machine and i cannot believe how they feel just driving around town.
Based on the build/ride quality and the lifetime warranty I would highly recommend KW’s to those looking to upgrade.
Here are some pictures of my install and a few things i did.



KYB AND COBB SPRINGS









I USED 07 STI TOP MOUNTS FOR THE FRONTS


I COULDN'T STAND FOR THIS . I DID DRILL THE CENTERS TO BE ABLE TO ADJUST MY REBOUND.









I HAD TO PAINT THEM


THE FINISH


WAS GREAT
