Just had this done,and would highly recommend...car drives just like it did before comfort wise,but sits lower...not been able to see what it's like on a spirited twisty drive but by all accounts it feels even more planted...kw state the height range adjustment is 15/40 on the fronts and 0/25 on the rears..but amd who done mine say that is a conservative range and you can get more if you would want too...

Cheers scaghead for the feedback - I've heard good things about this kit also. I have SS+ but primarily want the front to drop as IMO it runs a little high. As this kit is adjustable then it's another plus in case I need to change set-ups.
Need just one more now guys!

I seem to remember a lot of interest in this kit a couple of months ago. I'm sure we'll get that final person soon!

Nice one
Scaghead - what were your front/rear settings? - would be good to see a picture or two. Thanks

Can't remember if it was scaghead but somebody did a thread with loads of pictures of them installing it.

I am keen on getting a set of these too. I am just waiting on an email reply from Grizz to see if he can send me a set to Perth, Australia. I think I also have a stuffed left rear shock, so hopefully he can supply me with a rear DRC shock also.
Will you guys be buying a set of adjustable upper control arms to dial in some negative camber at the front when lowered? If so, which brand are favoured?
Cheers,
Greg

so tempted by this offer.... how much are we looking at to get these fitted?
Similar to Gavla, i have SS+ but feel the front rides too high, so it would be good to drop it a little so it sits more in line with the back (although dropping the back just a little too would be nice). Only concern is 2 of the 3 roads out of my area have those stupid central speed humps, and there's very little clearance over some of the bigger mothers already...

Can't you ride a wheel on each hump?
I've never had any clearance issues but mine is the non + version althuogh my rear sits lower than a + with all the weight in there.
Not sure on cost of fitting yet. I did ask Grizz to PM me and he did but answered all my questions other than cost of fitting.

He did say it was about 4 or 5 hours though, so if you know their hourly rate you can work it out. Bound to be less than £100 per hour.

Will post some pics,but at the moment I am waiting for my new tyres,as I have a couple of flat pothole wrecked ones on there at the mo..looks well low though..

as soon as I get the bloody thing back,I will post some up..only had the new look for one day..

the only thing I would say is the more you lower the front it does not fit the arch properly IMO as in shape of front arch/shape of wheel,looked to me like a hot wheels car so had it raised a bit higher than I would have ideally liked,but just couldn't be doing with the way it was...thinking about it ,it probably will look better with the people who are running a slightly higher tyre (35s) would fill the arch better without going so low...

Plus 2...it does take a few hours to do...bare in mind they do a four wheel alignment as part of it,so pretty time consuming..
