Default I'm on Konis, and I've still got some adjustment left. I rub a bit, as it is, though...

And it was neither a small (nor a cheap) feat to get enough adjustment in the rear to be able to get the car aligned properly.

Default KW makes an alternative rear spring to make it go another 10mm lower...

the spring itself is wound differently...the newer rear spring 8012 is 10mm shorter, which results in more lowering than just 10mm...it will probably result close to 3/4" or so...which means that you can revers the perches in the correct orientation.

i ordered a set, just haven't picked them up. probably in a week or so, i'll have some more concrete answers.

the fronts are no problem whatsoever...i have over an inch of threads to go.

Default you can request the rear spring set from KW. ask Tom Edge and use that part number.

ordered mine through KMD...cost is somewhere in the neighborhood of $200.
