thats really odd..your car should be absolutely dumped with those settings! ill see if i can get under the car tomorrow and look at the spring. as for the z/g, its the same kit. no difference as far as i can tell.

I think I remember the G37s had a similar issue with their BC coils.
Hope you get the spring situation figured out.

MY BC ERs have the same problem because they use a different stiffer spring. I had to remove 1 of the 2 perches to get at the max. low setting (0 gap, no tuck)

if you want to go lower, just remove the purple height adjustment ring all together, then you will be maxed out. a waste of v3 coilovers if all you're looking for is low though. they're near the bump stops your current height already.

edit: another reason to consider your "finger gap" comparison is that some ppl are running a larger circumference tire.

At this point I'm more concerned with figuring out if they shipped the set with the correct springs as it seems they did not. I'm going to contact KW. In the meantime if there is anyone thats under their car and could read me the serial on the spring for comparison I'd really appreciate it! I'm not going to remove the purple adjustment, and I repeat I don't want to slam my car, I'd like to lower it another 1/4 or so. I'm not riding on bump stops btw.

I'm not following you here at all...what is K1? The rubber spring mount at the top IS removed, the part your seeing in the picture is the molded piece of plastic that the purple collar spins up and down on. The lower rubber piece is supposed to be there where the coils meet the lower perch.

Sorry,

I have KW V1, my shop removed this rubber cone like thing from my car.

I thought that was still there.

Hey thanks for those pics they are definitely helpful! Your rear is definitely low it looks like you have room to go lower. Something isn't right with my setup, I just took the rear apart and sent pics to KW, hopefully they resolve it whatever it may be. BTW your G is very very nice looking!
