No need to hit me up Justin, I will weigh in. The car is mine!
they are KW V3 and I am very happy with them. IMO the ride quality is much better than stock. Gets rid of that "bouncy" feeling you can sometimes experience. Also very happy with the work and customer service from GMP.
Couple of things on the negative side that I will be looking to have remedied.
1) Based on what I ASKED FOR the car is a bit to low, as least in the rear. GMP did exactly what I instructed. I asked for 1" in the front and .6" in the rear. I may look to raise it back to stock height in the rear.
2) Although I love the look of the stock wheels on SGM, now that it is lowered the wheels look "sucked in".
3) Because of the alignment limitations on ISs now that the car is lowered the alignment specs are not where I want them. I have place an order for some mega arms from Figs but they are on back order. I will look to have the car raised and realigned once the arms come in and I have them installed. No need in doing things 2 or 3 times.
Currently there is no bottoming out or fender rubbing. BUT, in its lowered stance I am getting a lot of scraping of the front lip. Will need to find a remedy. Currently I am running velcro strips double-sided taped to the bottom but I am running through them pretty quickly (getting rubbed off, not through).
Also, related to a previous question asked yes they do do fender rolling. I also had them install a set of KW on my Supra recently as well and they also rolled the fenders.

I dont mind the stock ride quality at all and it handles great, thats why i havent bought a set of coils yet, but it does look good lowered especially in the front.
