Ya, Drew's good people. Got mine through him. I think Richard (kfabr8) also got his through Drew as well.
Either you or DWD install the KW's yet? I'm dying to know about:
1. Ride quality
2. Ride height
3. Installation/removal of the DRC... cost and labor time?
not installed yet I'm still waiting on Staticx Motorsport to ship them, if I do not hear anything by Tuesday I will cancel my order and go with DWD.

1. Ride quality: well, as my technician said to me after we drove around in my car after he installed the KW, I frankly don't know if I was ever in a car with working shocks! So, compared to a broken DRC, the ride is definitely better. I would say that the ride is stiffer than the DRC. When I drive over bumps or divots in the road, there is no "bounce", just a clunk reminding me that I should drive more carefully. As far as settings goes, he did not adjust the suspensions. I am riding on KW V3 factory specs (whatever they are.)
2. Ride height: the springs WILL settle and it seems like the springs in the back are MUCH stiffer than those in the front, so the setting for the front is 2" of threading from where the threading begins and the back is I believe 1.75" of threading. At this level, I can barely fit 1 finger in the front and in fact, I have to angle my finger in order to fit it between the tire and the wheel arch. In the back, I can fit about two fingers. Although actually it seems like in the last few days it's settled even more, so I will reverify in the morning and get back to y'all.
3. Installation/removal of the DRC... cost and labor time? Installation was a few hours, mostly adjusting the KW shocks. Removal and installation wasn't actually _that_ difficult. As for cost, the shocks themselves will run you sub-$3K. Check with Drew for the pricing on the parts (free shipping from pretty much everybody I think) and labour costs, that will depend on your mechanic but total time I would say is probably 4 hours tops?
LOL, not me man, Drew (BOOSTEDBORA), he's over at RE:VISION AUTO: http://www.revisionauto.com/product_...ducts_id=37439 And Drew's email is drew@revisionauto.com Very good peoples, highly recommended! Oh, Drew can hook you up with Hotchkis too!
Thanks! Hmm. What to do what to do about my DRC? I really hate to go with a lower ride height and stiffer ride as well.
Maybe an S6 is in my future? They are discounting a black/black 2008 S6 $15K off sticker and a local dealer...
copper, the ride can be softer. As I mentioned, I am riding on the default from factory settings. I would assume that it's half way in the stiffness.
And also, the ride height is adjustable as well!
+1!
Congrats to this fine ride - the KW will sure fit it! Down with it
