Great. My installer said deliver was around 6 weeks, so, matches up. I am very interested in how you feel about the change. I hate to spend the money and feel so, so about it.

Any recommended apps?

Any recommended apps?

I used an app called "Accelerometer" . I placed it where the wireless charger was and hit start and drove on the road. Once you end it you have an option to email the CSV data to yourself. I then took that data and put it in excel and charted out the movement. I used the Z axis for my charting. Happy to walk you through what I did. Again not scientific but if same road and same speed it will show the before and after.

I guess if the issue is bounciness in the back you could rubber band it to the back middle arm rest as well.

I'll start testing this. My spouse is a Tableau expert and I'll get her to build a visual aid for us LOL

Awesome..We can probably setup a google doc that we add people to who can post data before and after etc. Also if they have other cars it is just interesting to see the movement...

Now if we could only get people with different trims on the same road to prove if GT-Non PE > Premium etc...

I think I will do that. I would say the back is the worst. I go over expansion joints on the highway in this one stretch and it kicks the back end up something fierce.

Has anyone with a GT (non-pe) ordered one yet? I will be curious to see if it changes the ride height. I know KW says it does but not sure if they were comparing premium before or after or if the GT will go even lower.

That would be very convenient. There will need to be a set of very strict parameters, like two or three tests at different speeds, on the same segment of road, in the same lane, with identical vehicle loads. That would help plot some decent data.

Might be interesting to record the same road front and back to see the difference. Just hard to click start and stop I guess you can put it where you can reach it.

they will definitely go lower, without question. KW is also very conservative on their lowering measurements. Every car I've had on V3s goes substantially lower than what is advertised.

According to the first forum member who installed these, the car lowers to about the GTPE ride height, which is slightly lower than the GT.

Someone speculated the maximum KW coilover height was somewhere around 10mm lower than the standard GT height.

The lowering of height is the only thing that bothers me about ride height… one reason I bought the MME was rising high.

but, comfort comes first.
