I believe the 2IS front fits 3IS without any problem as I did see another forum member here ran a 2IS setup without installation issue. They possibly sent you a GS setup which share the same rear setup as the 3IS.

Yeah I thought about that but I couldn't find a listing for the GS :/

I contacted Nigel. He said he already sold 2 sets without any fitment issues I guess something went wrong when kw making ur set.

Fooz

Good to know, still awaiting a reply.

I rang today as I still haven't heard anything & apparently KW (Aust) said something about a possible adapter kit missing?? I can't imagine that there would be an adapter kit if it was made for this car.

Anyway I said i don't want any dodged up setup & will get the Ohlins if they can't resolve it with the right parts.

That's unacceptable. I have never heard ther is something called adapter kit...

Fooz

Issues have been resolved. There was some instructions missing about modifying the front top plate & missing adaptor kit for the bottoms.

The cars booked in for fitment (again) next Monday.

i really wonder how come they didnt include their own top plate/hat on their coils like rsr.... for this variant 3. i dont really like the idea of using the oem since their can be margin of error when installing the oew top plate/hat to the new coilovers.

Fooz

Thanks

Yeah dunno, maybe something to do with keeping the "luxury ride" or maybe so the strut motors sit back on & do nothing

Lol pls keep us updated after mondays test fitting. I would love to see some pics so i get a better idea when putting mine on.

Fooz

Coils are all fitted. I haven't had a chance to give it a good drive yet but slightly firmer, probably feels like it's in Sport + permanently, overall quite happy.

Here are some pics of the install

The missing instructions about modifying the front strut tops


Tops modified


Spring seat sits properly now


Missing bottom spacers installed


Front in place


Rear in place


Car on the scales getting balanced up

Haven't got any side on shots yet but basically the rear was lifted to match the front wheel gap I had with the RS-R Downs. Rear now sits at 2 degrees negative camber instead of 2 1/2 degrees.

Thanks for keeping us updated. My vendor also told me that there are missing parts from my package i beleive they are the bolt spacers for the front shocks but good to see that you have everything resolved and installed. I still do not get why they dont include their own top plate. Even bcr coil starting price at 998 US has their own top plate. Goddddd

In case you need to purchase a replacement top plate in the future as i beleive the current plate is modified which unable to be reused on the oem shocks. I have found everyone the part number.
