hi guys,
hoping some of you with coilover experience can give me some advice on this issue i'm dealing with.
i bought a set of KW variant 2 for my boxster from a forum member on here and it came nicely prepared with top hats installed with only 2500 miles on them. they have height and shock dampening adjustment. once i installed them and set up my desired height (which was not crazy low) and set the shocks to full stiff then dialing down a couple of clicks they seems to bottom out quite easily on the front only. when i look at the coilovers installed it seems the front spring doesnt have enough travel. the way they are designed when i lift the car the perch moves up and compresses the front spring which i think is causing the problem.
here are some photos of how it looks like now with the suspension loaded:
when i lower the car the perch moves down and i get more spring travel (i think).
i am looking for a setting where i dont have to look out for every little bump when i drive, i really dont want to loose practicality with this setup, i really like how they handle otherwise.
i've been asking around and someone recommended helper springs which would allow me to lift the car and still maintain adequate spring travel. does this make sense? i reached out to KW asking the same and what helper springs to add.
what do you guys think?
i really hope i can sort this out, i really like these coilovers they feel great and handling is awesome.. until i BUMP (BOMB) the crap out of the suspension and it feels like the car will split in half..
thanks,
Cristian
