Exclamation Ready or not, I'm doing KW HAS today

I would really appreciate it if anybody out there has:

- Any pointers for this procedure that are not obvious
- Torque specifications for any and all things that must be torqued when I reassemble

Counting on you guys!

Except for removing the oem front strut spring lower seat/mount and installing the KW front strut lower spring seat, it’s a standard aftermarket suspension install. However, this spring seat transfer is straightforward.

Hardest step is adjusting the rear ride height because you have to drop the rear lower control arm for every rear ride height adjustment. The entire rear spring height adjuster spins if you don’t drop the rear control arm. I’ve heard of people mounting the chassis side if the spring adjuster to the chassis with a screw(s) thru the mounting flange. I don’t know if this allows the height to be adjusted without dropping the control arm. It should but no personal experience with it. Please do not maximize the forward rake by matching the front fender-to-wheel gap with the rear fender-to-wheel gap. This biases the handling at the limit towards oversteer relative to the oem stock balance.

I ended up chickening out, and am still staring at them in the box. I'm going to wait until my professional mechanic friend has time (and we can use his proper lift as well).

We did exhaust on the lift today; went much smoother than Eventuri install, that much I can say for sure 🥲
