oh totally agree.
why would someone get the kw 3 set up and not already have done those things?
Forgot to ask what bars are you running?
You are not hitting bump stops are you--probably not but its something to check off.
actually to my surprise -my car was pretty well counterbalanced from the factory.
The o9 undertray front air splitters (the little airdams in front of the front tires) are longer than the S1's and if you dont reinforce them they will bend at speeds greater than 100mph.

OOPS--just re read your 1st thread. Bingo---you have the stock sways . Change bars. The kw's with there increased spring rates etc can handle lower speed cornering weight transfers, but at your speeds you need better bars IMHO.

You still want the car---will its still here---come get it!:)

Don't tempt me! I have been there once already. Just yesterday I was looking at Kelley Blue Book on my car.

i am still impressed at the many changes between the 2 models and the R3 is even better.
