I have the KW Variant 2 when the Mopar site carried them. BC are a great kit, and that is a steal!!!! I would love to get my car on bags one day and I have the perfect guy to do it here in Houston. Right now I'm dealing with a door problem. When I had my inspection and front tires done, the shop messed my driver door up pretty bad. It closes, but the front of the door sticks out from teh fender a half an inch now. I'm not sure if they bent the door, or the vertical kit. Since that happen I haven't been working on the car, cuz it just pisses me off. So that is were she stands right now. Her front end is torn apart to figure out what the problem is an I have no clue where to start. All the alighment pins are good, I really think they bent the inside of the door.... If that is the case then I'm not sure what can be done....

Wow bet your really mad at the inspection place . either way bending the door or the vertical part is a pain sorry about that. I have heard great comments on the kw 2 suspension. Yeah 300 bucks is a steal . How do your 19s do for you . debating if I wanna go with 18s or 19s or even 20s.

I think that 19s are the biggest I would go. They are a pain in the butt to work with. If I could have done it again I would have stopped at 18's. Tires are cheaper, and less modding to the fender area.

Yea I'm kinda upset with the place, but they are good people and have helped me out a lot and that is one reason I don't want to stir anything up... but we will see where this takes me.

I guess I will go with 18s seeing Idont think you have to mess with anything with those and I can find some satin black more in 18s plus I want some nitto invos. What vertical door place did you go with. Im lookin into doing them would go great with the hood and trunk I have done. Yeah I would not stir up anything either seeing they have been good for you.

Well, today is a good day. My buddy Matt was able to help me get my door straighten out. Now it closes correctly I just need to make an adjustment.

I wanted a new car but going to just rebuild her with a turbo new paint job and new wheels and tires and coilovers and cf hood and trunk with pvo molded already and vertical doors and a little more surprises. No more number 2 on cardomain. Im suprised your not at number 1 on cardomain. Whats with that. Yours is way better lookin that mine is.

I don't jump on Car domain that much.. I have enough places that I post on, that I will update it once in awhile, but I think I checked out taht sight maybe 4-5 times.. Its not that much fun over there. Especally when many of the people there think quanity beats quality. Anyone can go buy things at auto zone, and slap it on a car. The real trick is to make it flow right and look good...

Well none of my stuff came from autozone and mine flows pretty well. I love cardomain cause none hates on there and everyone gets along so well unlike most forums. Plus there are alot of really nice rides on there . They just added srt4 neons to the regular neons and mine is the number 1 regular neon now.
