Looks great! Are you on the highest setting on the rear? Or do you also have the spacers put on? Only reason I am asking is because KW has been known to sag in the rear.
Let me know man. Tks!

looks great! keep us updated on how your KW springs perform, there never seems to be a clear answer.

No spacers, I got the avant model as per recommendation by the seller in regards to the rear sagging etc. Time will tell I guess. I will wait a week or two and see then.
As far as the setting the shop said that there is still some space left on the rear and more at the front.

That's smart of the shop to recommend the avant model since their spring rates are different to accomodate the heavier avant rear. That's why you probably won't see sagging and have more play in the rears. Not sure if did your research but a bunch of people experienced being tucked in the highest setting (others had cluncking as the springs compressed too much) at the back with the ST and KW coils and their only option was to add some spacers.

You bet I did my research, I asked more than few times the seller and he recommended the avant springs exactly due to this issue. He also motioned that in some cases the rear are sagging but not in all and they (as well as KW) are not sure why. So to be safe I got the Avant ones.
So far love the handling and the lower stance but I will wait few weeks to give an adequate review/opinion. I do feel it too early now.

Great, ill wait for your review. Just to confirm, you have front and rear avant springs right? And not just rear avant springs with a4 front springs. Thanks for posting and giving me this idea!

Now that's a proper stance, friend! I really want to see more angles of that Deval front lip. I have mine and haven't put it on yet, but I'm not sure that it's thick enough to my liking honestly. I'd like to see anymore pics you might have of it.

EuroWerks and so far am quite impressed by them. They even arranged someone to pick me up from work and drive me to the shop. They work on Saturdays and overall are very nice to deal with. USP are great too but their prices lately are overwhelming.

In your signature you have PSS10 ... why switch to KW adjustable springs (if you do not mind me asking)?
