Stopped by the office at City Center earlier tonight... Snapped a pic so you guys could see the ride height. Yes I know my sidemarker is all wonky in the first pic. Deal with it, I didnt notice it until halfway through my impromptu 45 second "photoshoot."

ufoz, looks really good! You said you liked the ride quality more than a BMW but can you be specific about what exactly you liked? I know you said you rolled your fenders, can you tell if you're rubbing anywhere at all? Even over bumps or anything? How stiff is it through the turns? Sorry for all the questions but I'm having a real hard time deciding between the KW and the Minagallery suspension...

I'm only 75% sure about how they are going to look since Mina doesnt have any pictures of them installed on any cars yet. I had them send me the exact measurements of the tips and I made some cardboard templates for an idea of how they will sit. I was 50/50 on them, after the arts and crafts session I am now up to 75% haha.

Thanks for the compliments guys--

I'm going to post up a full review on the KWs later today if I have time now that I've been able to put some more miles on them + take them up to the twisty roads.
