Well i finally got my kw coilovers today from turbo tec and hopefully i will have them installed tomorrow. I cant wait to see how they are, i am need of this so bad. But i will let everyone know how they are as soon as i get them in.

 

post up pics when you get them installed. I would like to see. I'm currently looking into a set of coilover. What are you doing with your H&R's?

 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Your Balt is going to have a nasty stance!

 

Awesome! Glad they made it to you okay from Germany

Post pictures up if you get time

 

i wanna see them!!!

 

I'll post up pics as soon as i get them in. Hopefully tomorrow sometime

 

Once i get these installed i'll be selling both the stock springs and the H&R's springs

 

Yeah i got them today from ups. It didnt take that long. Thanks again guys and i'll post when i get a chance.

 

I did some asking around about KW coilovers and I think I might be next in line for them. I know in the VW world they kick ass. I was thinking about going the V2 version.

 

Yeah they are a pretty sweet setup

 

are you stocking those for the Ion as well?

 

I see you ordered Variant 1. I am really thinking of ordering a set for drag racing. I don't know of another good way to stiffen up the rear and soften up the front for launching. Let us know how install and setup goes. I am interested to hear your review and see some pictures.

 

We didn't realize they make these for the Ion, Do you have a part number? We dont plan on stocking these for the cobalt though, as we can have KW ship from Germany to your door in around 2 weeks. Once KW USA stocks these it will only take about 1 week to get to our customers door. Larger, high cost items normally dont get brought in stock unless we see a large demand (5+ sets a month)

 

Well let me know when you do sell them...i could possibly take them off your hands for ya

 

Well right now i am in the middle of putting in the coilovers, so they will be for sale very soon. If you are interested pm me and let me know what you want.

 

I'm not familiar with the Cobalt's setup. What hardware am I going to have to resue? Any chance on upgrading anyting else while I'm int here? Is there a camber adjustment on the cobalt that i'll have to worry about during/after install? I'm assuming the rears are an adjustable spring perch?

 

check your PMs

 

Well i finally got them installed and wasnt to bad for my first time. I didnt adjust the coilovers yet. But the ride height is lower then stock and seems prety good. The ride is better then the h&Rs. No vibrations and seem to handle the bumps fairly well. The only thing that i did notice is that the front right makes a little louder then normal noise when hitting a bump. But over all i like the ride, but will find out more when i drive to work next week. That will be the next test. But here are some pics of the kit and when the car looks like installed.

Oooohhhh I like very much,congrats on the purchase and thanks for the pics How much were they?

 

about 1150 fromm turbo tech

 

Sweet thanks for posting up the pics!

 

dammmmmnnnn looks good! One day ill save enough for coilovers

 

Dude, slam that **** on the ground!!! I want to see how low they go before I buy them in the spring

 

I would put i drive a long distance to work and parts of the road are not so great, so iam playing it safe right now. But it seems that it will go a bit more. I think they say it will go about 2in in the front and 1.5 in the rear. But not totally sure about that.

 

I just have a link directly from their site.

It'd be nice to get em around $1K too

Ion KW Coilovers

oh yeah, how do you make sure the ride height is even on all sides with the coilovers
