    r32 coilovers

    Hey guys,

    just a quick question for a mate...

    how much have you paid for a set of K & W coilovers for an r32

    and is there any other parts needed to lower it?


    cheers

    Having learnt the hard way, ANY lowering will affect the rear geometry and push your camber (and a little bit of toe) out of alignment. You will end up wearing the insides of the rear rubber out thru a combo of the camber lean and the toe dragging the tyre across the road.

    A drop of 0-1" will need the camber adjusted via an adjustable rear lower control arm. When you fix the camber issue for this small drop, the toe will fix itself.
    A drop of 1"+ will likely need the rear upper control arm to be adjustable as well because the camber and toe will be out by a lot.

    I got mine from Gruven parts, took about 10days delivery.
