KW's Hydraulic Coilover Lift System

///M4Power · 06-26-2016, 07:18 PM

Has anyone installed / using the KW's Hydraulic Coilover Lift System to help raise their lowered car, to get over speed bumps or drive ways. I understand you can raise the front of the car up to 1.8" in 5 seconds.

It states that it is for all of their coil over systems. Seems like a good idea to protect the investment of a front lip.

We have installed plenty. Do you have any questions on it?

Seems like more "show" than "go". Good for a RICEr IMO.

I wouldn't say that... There is a "front-end lift" factory option available for many of the GT-flavors of 911. That car has more overhang that others, so perhaps it's more useful than it would be on a F8x car, but from what I understand about it, it helps getting into and out of driveways, ramps, etc.

I'm just trying to get in and out of my driveway and speed bumps if I put Coil Overs and lower it. I mention the 5 seconds because thats pretty fast to not have to get out of your car and figure out how to go around something.

Auto Talent,

1.What are the hours needed to install this on a 2016 M4? I'm in Houston.
2. Are these good are is there something better n your opinion?
3. If i decide to just lower it with out the coil overs. will this item still work?

Thanks,

Sounds amazing for those of us lowered with lips not ricer at all and totally functional

Wow what a great mod, surprised it isn't as popular on this forum.

Exactly. Not many people are willing to pay the $5k asking price for this system.

Check out The Umbrella Auto Design Vehicle Ride Height (VRH) system. Definitely not a "rice" setup. I plan to run this on my GTS. Product quality and reliability are excellent.
