Question

I know that there are a few guys starting to run these, out of the box can they be set to run at normal ride height or do they drop the scoob from the start, as I want to go coilover but don't want to lower it much due to the type of roads a go along?

I am running KW Variant 3's and yes they can be run at normal ride height,even higher if you want! when their fitted you can have the height set to your requirements. You cannot really fit these yourself as removing the originals disturbs all the steering geometry.

If the roads you'll use them on are real bumpy b-road variety, I'm slower with my KW v3's than I was with my Koni's/Eibachs. Much faster on smooth surfaces though

I'm running stronger than spring rates (can't remember values), maybe worth trying a car with a similar set-up to the one you want?

Thanks guys, just looking at options really, won't be fitting anything until the road on the estate is finished cause at the mo it looks like a stage off the safari.
