KW Height Adjustable Spring Kit on my C6RS6

[B42]

Hello everyone!

Finally I installed the KW Height Adjustable Spring Kit and wheel spacers on my C6 RS6.

But I got rub slightly when the car went over a dip and a bump , so I took off all spacers :doh:

Each wheels went to the inside of fenders a little bit,
but I don't get rub any more, and the feeling of the ride is really comfortable like the OEM springs
when I switch the DRC Plus to the "Comfort".

I think this KW spring kit is really good :thumb:

Thanks :)

Β42 nice job :applause:

I plan to do a similar mod but with the MTM suspension kit (which is KW as well but with some minor differences).
Do you remember the height setting? Or how many millimeters lower than stock?

Moreover, what spacers did you initially install? 10mm?
I'm expecting 5mm ones from MTM (good for the RS6 C6) which should be OK.

Perfect! :thumb:

Thank you, Michalis!

At First, the front was 25mm, and the rear was 35mm lower than stock.
The front spacer was 15mm, and the rear was 10mm, and also I rolled the front fenders.
Both the front and the rear spacers have a hub centric ring.

However, I got rub by this setting, so I took off all spacers and lifted up the rear 10mm, so the rear is 25mm lower than stock now.

I think if you cut the liner of the rear fender, the 10mm spacer may be OK to the rear.

As the next my plan, I was gonna put the H&R 5mm spacers to the front and the rear,
but H&R doesn't recommend a thin spacer which doesn't have a hub centric ring for the C6 RS6.
So I gave up to put the spacers :doh:

I don't know why they don't recommend that, but when we put the spacers which don't have a hub centric ring,
the original hubs will be short, and the each wheels will be supported by only 5 bolts and the shortened hub.
It may be poor to catch the big power of the RS6, I guess.

How about MTM 5mm spacers?
Are they OK about that?

Thanks for the info!
My friend who already installed the MTM suspension kit lowered front+rear 30mm. At the beginning there was a rubbing forward with a protruding inner-fender screw. They've changed it with a flash one and he has no prob. Still, I will go for max. 20mm on mine.

I've been waiting for these spacers from MTM long time (more than 5 months) so most probably there is something not right, hence the delay.

Hi, Michalis.

Wow, your friend got 30mm lowered! :addict:
Compared with the stock springs, how is the ride about the MTM springs?

You've waited for the MTM spacers for 5 months?
It's too long!
Sorry about that.
When you get and put them on your car, let me know your impression.


By the way, I've waited for the MTM Carbon Diffusor for about 6 months like you...:cry:

I oredered it to the Avus Performance (ex B&B MotorSports),
and I exchange mails with Chris whose user name is MTMBerlin on this forum.
I want to contact closely with him, but his response is not good.

Now I've requested him to cancel my order and refund my payment,
but I can't get his answer about it so far.

I'm really worry about it.

Does anyone know about him and Avus Performance?
Is that a good company?

Oops, this is just my complaint.
Sorry about this.
