i have a set that needs to go in piano black totaled my car j (dot) stuckey@jsentertainmentllc (dot) net

 

Just got my wheels on , first went with the h&r springs , way too soft , so i ponied up and got KW varient 3 coilovers, still having some scrubbing issues , getting fenders rolled this weeek , The coilovers are Amazing !

 

Oh yeah , had a machine shop trim the axle studs for center cap fitment.

 

very clean.. what site did you pick up the KW from?

 

Looks killer!

 

Just sent you an email...

 

I called KW's main office here in the states in sanger Ca, they sold them to me for jobber , which is about the same price you can get them on e-bay , but if i ever have a problem with them i know who to call.Also they have a lifetime warranty.

 

Hi Team,

I ordered a set of F14s in piano black. Can anyone tell me if this would work.
The car has totally stock suspension.
It is a 2005 and I would like to put 295/30s on the back and 245/40s on the front.

Thanks!

 

295s will probably rub on the stock trailing arm. Recommend 285 max.

Are you saying the 285s will clear the stock trailing arm? do the wheels clear on a non-lowered car? Now that I have finally seen a black on black car I am ready to get me a set.

I tried to get ahold of Killernoodle for a set and no response, so hoping that the stock trailing arms will clear at-least 275s

 

A couple of guys here should chime in, but I believe that a few of them have 285s with stock trailing arms and have had no rubbing problems.

 

I have the 19x10 on the rear with 275 /40/19 , i've had a terrible time with scrubbing issues in the front and rear , not so bad with the front , had the rear fenders lightly rolled , def going to have to have it more aggresively rolled, as for the inside of the rim on the rear , no scrubbing with a 275 .

 

That's because you didn't listen and bought 275/40-19" rear tires instead of 275/35-19" tires.

The correct outer diameter is 26.7", but you have a 27.7" tire.

 

Not that i didn't listen, i just made a decision based on my preference , obivously i will need to make some adjustments to accept my tire choice.

 

Couple of ideas:

1. TurninConcepts sells $75 bushings that replace the stock rubber bushing that your trailing arms connect to. Those OEM rubber bushings are like pencil eraser softness, and definitely compress 1/8"-1/4" during bumps, cornering, and acceleration.

2. If you have a Ground Control kit, you might want to try 100 in-lbs stiffer rear springs.

 

I started out with the H&R springs, Waaaay too soft , so after wasting money on them and a leveling kit and labor, I spoke with Johnny O'connell and he suggested the kw's so i bought the KW variant 3's , wow what a difference, so i guess bushings will be my next purchase.

 

Just ordered the bushings.thx.

 

What lugs are you all using?

 

I got my Forgestars in and they are sweet!!! I had some old centercaps laying around and decided to cut the mounts off the back and double taped it to the center. What do you guys think? I'm on the fence. They look good from afar but you know they stick out as it isnt a direct fit. Waiting on beter solution/custom centercaps.
