I'm late to the party...helpful thread!
I've been debating this for a while myself. I'm torn between the KW V1s and the Eibach/Bilstein combo. After seeing the picture of Bubba Ho-Tep's setup, I'm leaning toward that solution. It appears that I'd have enough clearance for most of Boston's road issues and winter conditions. As much as I like the idea of height adjustability, I've had several sets of coil-overs over the years and have never bothered going through the hassel of raising/lowering for seasonal conditions (I tend toward conservative drops to deal with lousy roads). Also, I'm wondering how much clearance I'd actually have if I maxed out the height of KW V1s. Even at max height, the V1s lower the stock stance...by how much realistically, I have no idea as I've yet to see a picture of an xi set up as such. Maybe one of you KW owners can help...
@Bubba Ho-Tep - do you have anymore direct side pictures of your car? I'm interested in seeing the wheel and undercarriage gap more clearly.
Thanks - Jason
