KW struts and springs 40/40

First I've heard of KW. I did a google search and was surprised to find a wide product selection. I've got a Lowtech 45/30 coming. I will be interested in how low this really is compared to the KW above. I can't imagine the Lowtech 60/40....slammed

Source for where you ordered your lowtec springs?

I've been wanting those 60/40 springs but I missed the group buy.

I bought them as part of the group buy...Mel Abrahams. Abrahams Motorsport.

You will probably have to wait until the next group buy.....otherwise you are looking at importing them $$$$

I want to lower mine too, but after lowering a lexus gs300 and going thru tires like there is no tommorow. I think i am changing my mind quickly I have parallels on my e34 and they are directionals so i can't rotate them so if it eats the tire i have to buy new ones. I like the lowered look but for me i am keeping mine the way it is it would get extremely expensive with 265/40/18 in the rear and 225/35/18 in front.

Solution = camber kit
