did a great job on lowering, kw is really a great choice

[@KiaraShifts]

Thank you Nikola :)

[@tfbattag]

Thank you for posting this. I agree with your take on this. KW should give an indication. Bilstein includes this information in their coilover kits.

[@dominikkopczynski7425]

Cool

[@firasbelbaisi8485]

You did a great job , i think if you add wheel spacers ,maybe it will solve this issue

[@frax77]

Yep, had the same issue with mine. A lot of the coil-over manufacturers will note that you may need to run a spacer, so I'm surprised that KW didn't. Best of luck finding suitable wheels.

[@KiaraShifts]

I felt like such an idiot! Didn't even consider this a potential issue. Rather than running spacers I wish KW would tell us which wheel specs we need..

[@BasEerdenKeuning]

How do you adjust the rebound on the rear dampers?

[@123nemsis]

great job, spacer should solve the issue

[@amalmoore4119]

Hey! you can use a spacer on the wheel and get your clearance, if you do not want to change your wheel.

[@KiaraShifts]

Hey, thanks for the comment :) As mentioned in another comment, spacers affect performance and are almost impossible to legalise in Austria anyways. So I am going to get new wheels, probably ET37!

[@zerocochrane1713]

Love your voice !

[@KiaraShifts]

Thank you!

[@olivergraler5271]

You are beautyful, thx

[@SerchPrado]

Yep dont go on spacers, definitely not recommended, vibrations on high speed and unsafe, better go with a lower ET wheels and problem solved...

[@user-bk5zz4vn8z]

wheel name please

[@KiaraShifts]

These are Dotz Rapier 17inch :)

[@user-bk5zz4vn8z]

@@KiaraShifts thank you

[@hugosg9]

You need spacers too.

[@KiaraShifts]

Thanks for the thought! However, I won't get spacers as they affect performance. It's also illegal in my country to have the wheel sticking out further than the fender! Laws are strict here 😅

[@500bht]

Et35 with a 7. 1/2nch wide rim will be perfect

[@KiaraShifts]

Thank you! Do you know if Et35 will stick out from the fender? Some friends of mine say the limit is 42, others say 37 but at that point the rims stick out past the fender 🧐

@@KiaraShifts I don't know if you have solved this matter, but if you are still on it i can send you a photo of stock MY'12 wheels with 12mm spacers to see how close they are to the fender.
