Hey Mike I noticed those spacers yesterday on the classified - was about to text u till I saw they were sold

Saw some pics of your redone back end - looks amazing solid work there. How is your drop on the KWv3's? I had to install spacers to my rear set up with the V1s to get higher than the max out of the box height.

 

Just emailed Ryan to see if an exchange is possible...worth a shot, install looks quite a bit easier on the newer version.

 

Thank you , Mike! Yeah I'm digging the back end a lot, quad tips are something I've wanted since the beginning, and the KW V3s I really like the ride on them, but yes I got KW spacers for the rear as well just haven't installed them yet, I got 30mm so the range of adjustment increases, it'll go up 30mm with the spacers and I'll go down about 15-20mm.

 

Welcome back, Mike. Glad to hear you were able to get your car sitting the way you want, even if you had to add spacers. This seems to be a common issue when installing lowering springs or coil-overs on our Sedans. Seems most manufacturer's measure the drop based on a G37 Coupe installation, but it seems the same suspension set-ups tend to provide more than the advertised drop when installed on a Sedan. I'm guessing this has to do with the extra weight hanging behind the rear axle with our longer rear overhang.

 

30MM spacers are the ones I got also.

 

Let me know if you ever have a warranty claim on those KWs and I'll delete that post, lol.
Looking good BTW

 

Say what? Here's what I was told by a KW rep when I asked about their spacers voiding warranty. See both screen shots attached

 

I guess it's just more of the CYA "just in case"

 

Alright - the plan for this spring / summer is shaping up
Before the meet in PA i plan on finishing:

1. Raise car to 26.25 (re-align if neccessary)
2. Spacers
3. Shift ****
4. OEM Spoiler
5. RJM v3.1 (my 2.1 is for sale in the classfieds if interested)

Should be a pretty do-able set and not going to break the bank this year.

 

Yeah I guess that's what it is Brad

Hey I am actually really intrigued by that shift **** we talked about today, I can't wait till you get it so I can see it in person, the hardest decision will be for me whether to go with the red, since my stitching on my fully custom steering wheel is red plus the red GTR start stop button or just go with that gorgeous translucent orange which would kind of look cool seen through the window especially matching the other orange accents uhhh IDK I need help there. It seems like they make the shiftknobs right in PA by Allentown too, so it's pretty local to you and not that far away for me either.

I'm curious how long is the wait time, perhaps you may know Mike? I definitely want to see it as soon as you get it so I can make up my mind 100% ( now I'm at 95%) once I figure out whether red or orange that is

And speaking of the Chat Thread meet, I thought it was in PA, something's changed??

 

oops - edited my post with PA.

I think it takes 1-2 week to engrave. So should have it soon.
Them being local in PA was a another big reason I went with their brand. Nice to represent some local business.

 

That deep translucent powder-coated clear-coat... whatever that process is, the pictures sure are enticing. Good luck with the final product, Mike.

Have you taken your OEM **** off before? It's not always easy. Best to get into it with another pair of hands. It's also probably better to expect the OEM **** will get trashed. Or you could be optimistic and get lucky.

 

Yes, a buddy and i did it when I had my coupe. It was destroyed.

 

Spacers may be put on hold, this morning my wife told me in no uncertain terms to "get a second set of wheels" (in response to my proposal we lease her a new car so I can use the CR-V in winter)...

I've been eyeing the Forgestar F14s for a while now...pretty sure i want one of the silver options they have, also trying to figure out size/offsets.

Looking forward to this fun process

 

Wow, nice offer there. Good luck settling on one wheel
Especially if you want any help from the rest of us guys in the bleachers
