KW V3 installed need some suggestions

Guys and Gals,

Just got a set of KW V3 installed in my 05 MR, so far i love them. Car is going to get aligned tonight.

Wanted to ask for some advice in regards to corner balancing. Also any local shops that can set this for me (SoCAL)

Thanks.

West End alignment can do this as well. Good price as well.

You also have Muellerized Inc., but John Mueller might tell you something on your coilover choice or take a while to schedule you in. I don't like John but he does do good work.

I have a bud that had his Sub set up by these guys. 10 years ago when I raced, I knew bunch of people that used them as well. Funny thing: I just had Mueller set up my car, but pulled the rip-cord on his JIC's when I showed up because of the single compression/rebound adjuster. That's bogus if you ask me, and just tonight I did some esearch on the KW's. I like that they have seperate reb/comp adjusters, and they're in my price range. I'm also told they're easy to work with.
If you think of it, please let me know how you like 'em as well. I was gonna call Mueller in the am to get his feedback on 'em.

I think Robi Spec would be a better choice for you if you want the KW's. Look around on the boards and you'll see that he has more than plenty of experience with them. I know he's a far drive for you, but it might be worth it.

Although I would go to Robi if I was in his area, any proper suspension shop will be able to corner balance those for you. The KW's ride height adjustment is a simple design, so you should be fine as long as the shop understands corner balancing. They don't need to be experts on the KW's in particular.

Give Robi a call. The man did some amazing work on my car - KW v3 street with whiteline products.

So what did you end up going with? What were you told about both JIC and KW?
