i am still on the fence about a "cheaper" coil since i do "rip it" in the mountains but i really have nothin to compare anything to. hopefully i dont regret my decision but the price difference between hks or kw v3 is just too great

has anyone installed them straight out of the box????? just wondering how the stance is.

^^^^^ Yeah I have the same question, I was wandering if anyone had any measurements of their's to see how the stance would be. I hope to not have to mess with them a lot to make the stance perfect. Also the AP1s are the same as AP2 correct?

i installed these right out of the box to let everyone see how much to adjust them. The front is WAY too low and the back is not low enough imo.

I just got these installed the other day and got my alignment,...i could not get the UK spec i wanted because they said my tie rods were maxed out on the adjustment so i could not get the toe set to 0 in the front unless i increased the front camber to -2, so i have -2 in the front and -2.4 i believe in the rear. My rear tires are shot so i did not push the car at all this weekend but i did make a 300 mile trip from Reno to South Lake Tahoe down to Sacramento and back. I left them on the softest setting all around (i heard you were suppose to for breaking them in????) but initially i thought that the car handled like crap, which i think might be the alignment, my steering was what made me hate it ,...it turned in really sharp compared to the way it was set up stock but the ride quality as far as going over freeway bumps/bridge connection etc was very nice. It seemed as though those freeway connection spots ....you know the kind where its almost like a mini box jump(think skate park) but usually stock the car feels to almost float in the air when you hit those, the N+ take the initial slam into the face very nice(on softest setting remember) and when the suspenion rebounds it seems WAY shorter keeping you from feeling like you are weightless which is very nice. i hated that unstable flying feeling of stock suspension. There was a section of the road i was on that had been patched many many many times from the chains and trucks in the winter time ruining the roads,....but think every 10ft on half the hwy there was a new patch of pavement about 1 inch higher than in between the patches...........it felt like i was in a "Whoop" section on motocross track, but i did not bottom out at all. I am gonna get my alignment done again and hopefully it handles better as the cornering confidence has actually gone down compared to stock,.....which might be the alignment,....i am pretty sure the camber should NOT be the same front and rear so i will increase the rear to hopefully fix it. The lack of body roll sure is nice though, it just doesnt seem to maintain its track through a corner as easy.

Yeah the softest setting to me felt very week. I am currently at Hardest setting all around and plan to dial it softer as the days go by. Only bad thing is the driver rear shock is a pita to get to.

Hardest setting = brain damage on Houston roads.
