pss9's awesome kit, I've had these on my other car for a while now.

Be interested to here you thoughts on the ride with a heavier car.
Rasss-4

Yeah reports will be published  
How low can you go on these, do you know?
Dont want stupidly low but I want it nice and tight to compliment my Hotchkis arbs

Looking pretty bling there Juss, good old Virdee coming through hey

You want to see a low car on billie pss9's with updated arbs search a20 lee's posts his car is super low! still seems to handle well too
pjbRs

As low as a snakes belly if you want.

Very simple to adjust, but i found the ride terrible on full soft, way too bouncy.

Fantastic on trackdays once you find the best setting.

Mine are set to 6 on the front and 4rear on the road.

But as i say not on my Audi so you'll have to play around a bit.

Not the best pic to show the drop maybe Lee will see the post and whore out the pics certainly looks lower in the metal.

Nice one Rasss,Virdee is the man  
ollys

Virdee

Thanks for the kind words
Silversea

They're awesome, they'll be one of the best purchases you'll make.

Good choice!

nice wish i had these instead of the kwv3s on mine

Yeah cant wait to actually get this suspension sorted.

Loving the Stance of Lee's, something like that would suit me and hopefully the comfy ride to go with it - Is that your noggy next to it Marc?

@ Olly - well lets just say somethings just aint meant to be I guess  

@ Virdee - No worries, Glad you was able to help me out mate and such a quick turnaround too, appreciate it, especially after all the crap and grief this whole 'Suspension' issue has caused me

Enjoy, they are superb on and off track, you will love them...

Why Si??
Monday when I was searching in despair, KW's kept popping up but I read quite a bit about how they can be harsh at times, is that the issue?

Give the Wallet a break from LOBA for a change and treat yourself  
Bet you could get rid of the KW's easy!

@ Dace - I noticed how 'stiffer' yours was compared to Jimbo's on the Track at Vmax.   How come you kept OEM ride height Dave?

I have this kit - just make sure whoever installs it does it properly, for instance all the suspension linkages should ideally be slackened off and only tightened up once the car is back on the ground with the new shocks fitted - this stops the bushes twisting which they will if you set it lower than stock. Then get the geo done properly, and remember if you run it too low at the front you will end up with neg camber beyond the recommended spec, which could cause premature tyre wear and handling issues.

Enjoy

This is what happened to my S4, bought it with coilovers and it had split all the bushes.

Thanks for the tip Olly, Ill make sure I mention that to Aidan but I gather with his experience, he'll already know! Scary stuff though  

Ive been told to run it for couple wks so it settles then get the Geo done, is that right?

TBH I think ill be happy with 30mm drop all round.

Yes let it settle before geo. It's difficult to say what drop will work when it comes to the front end as every car is different in terms of how the bushes are. For example,  I went from old control arms at the front to all new and when the bilsteins went back on I had more neg camber than before and it's quite a bit more. I can feel it and so the front of the car needs to go back up a touch

Yeah that's mine, had to keep it out of shot, you know with Noggy being the best colour and all that.  Didn't want Lee upset.   I seriously need some cleaning tips from him though - his car is like a sheet of glass.

Like Amar says - don't be shy with the pictures either.

The best handling set up IMO. Might not look as good as lowered cars, but certainly handles superb. I run the setting on 1 for track and 9 for everyday use. I do not alter it for Vmax and was set on the softest setting (9).
