i would say probably around 1.25" - 1.5" drop all around. i just told them i want the top of the tire to meet the fender line in the front without rubbing issues. i'll probably raise it up a touch though once it settles

Here's mine, question for the experts. Will it affect the xi suspension or handling if I raised just the back a little, I wanted to add some spacers so the tires stick out for a more agressive look!

I'm not sure. I can check when I get home. I've only opened it once to glance at it. The install was all Rocco while I was at work.

I don't think you'll notice any tangible difference in handling with the spacers unless your a track monster, just go for it. The cars new so I don't know if you wanna roll the fenders, but I most likely will end up getting mine rolled by a guy I know and throw in a 12mm spacer.

If you're worried about scraping, the only thing i scrape is those rubber things under the bumper and the jack points. If you just take things slow on speedbumps you'll be fine! If you enter/exit steep driveways though that's a whole new story.

Raising the rear a bit will be fine. It will settle a little more anyways. also the adjustment wrench is different in the rear and fron. One of them is bigger i believe. |

The short answer is yes as it will give it more rake and the weight distribution will be off. I had to do this to mine to clear me underground parking without scraping. However, it still handles way better than without the KW so it's not that bad or noticeable to someone who doesn't track the car.

Cheap will always remain cheap so it's best not to cheap out on an important component like suspension. |

i just came here to quickly vent about stupid downtown toronto parking lots! some of their driveways are so steep! i scraped the bottom of my front lip ATLEAST 5 times this past weekend going in and out of lots. oh well... i guess its a little trade off for the better looking stance. still loving the kw v2s though!
