Extra Top-hats are a good investment,.. Also make sure to tell them where you want your ride height because, as you can see from your pictures it's not set on there. If you look in the book it show's you the ride height range that it should be in, I think it's in the range of 13-14" from center cap to fender.

Also, I did the install myself and there was some front end noise that I couldn't figure out for the longest time and it ended up being the front sway bar, which requires a special socket to torque down to the right specs, while holding the hex head in the center of the bolts. ,.. that seems to happen to quite a few folks on here.

I'm sure you'll love them,. enjoy!

For now I have just driven around the town not really on the highway just yet. I didnt really find the stock ride to be that bad compared to many anyway so I would not say it is night and day as many people have said but I can clearly say that I got the drop I wanted with a more aggressive look to it and did not sacrifice the ride.. Still comfortable to me. I guess I can make a better judgement on longer routes?

Thank You and yeah the calipers do grab alot of attention especially when rolling in traffic that huge caliper does stand out. I ended up going at 13.5 in front with 13" in rear. I may lift up the front slightly more.

Congrats man, I know you will love them. I noticed a big difference on road trips to Cali. With the KWs it's been much more enjoyable going back and forth.
