works springs. i wouldn't recommend them. get coilovers.
i did my research, thought i picked a good set that would hold me over till i got a new suspension, ended up blowing out both front struts a few months ago.
so learn from my mistake, do it right the first time and get coil overs.

I love my KW V3's if I had to do over again I'd probably get the robi-spec versions but
live and learn. Plus they are stainless steel incase you drive your car in the winter, but
heck who does that?...lol

Mike, I did the front roll center correction kit last year. Its a fun job, I would also recomend the other two control arm bushing while your at it. Do you have the rear trailing arm bushings? This is one of the first ones done bye Robispec.
Here are some of the issue's you'll run into doing the roll center kit. Front sway bar endlinks rusted on, pressing the old ball joint out of the control arm,(you will crack the outer edge, not a big deal tho). Also be careful with the bolts to the subframe as Mike has told me these are known to strip out. (hence how i sold the subframe).

rear so that shouldn't be a problem. I do have the rear trailing arm bushing also.
I figured pressing out the old ball joint would be a bastard, they always give me
problems! You have to mess with the subframe? How come? Wait, you mean the
bolts that hold the lower control arm to the subframe right?
