Default Pictures from the progression crisis:

First a review of: KW Variant II Coilovers:

+ Extra sturdy cornering.
+ Plenty of room for clearing coils with wheels.
+ Ability to angle front to rear without altering the feel of the ride.

BUT

- Not enough adjustability. Needs to go lower, MUCH lower.
- Having the whole system basically be priced off of the coil sleeve.
- The inability to buy the coil sleeve separately from the shock and spring combo. If this were the case you can put together your own coilover system for much much less.

However, I am pleased with them, just wish I had more to adjust, dampening, more height adjustment, and camber plates would be an excellent addition to the system.

Anyways, pics thus far:









Project boost is on hold right now because i'm on budget since i just bought a new 240 shell and i have to get it ready by july 15th for comp. So yeah.

I like your wheels, but I'm so use to the staggered wheel look that the front rim looks likes it's too big for the front of the car. What size rims are those?

they are 20" MRR's all the way around.

on july 7th i'm putting some 17" AMG wheels on there for the drift event for a good track stance and lightweight wheel, if it looks good i'm gonna just refinish them and use those here and there too. i'll post pics when i get them on.

btw: last time i checked staggering your wheels relates to width and offset rather than diameter. but that's how i've also perceived it. inform me if i'm wrong? i'll check again, but widths and offsets are staggered, look at the concaveness of the rear wheel.

i cambered them during the alignment and took a hammer to some of the inner plastics of the fender well. they only rub at high speeds on big bumps or real sharp turns.
