Not yet. I was planning on playing around with ride height but I think I like it where it is so maybe I'll knock that out next week.

Any updates?!! How's the suspension holding up? Ride quality improved?

I wouldn't say its improved but its still good. I've been traveling the last week with my fam on Spring Break so I don't have much to add other than I'm still playing with the adjustments. It's hard to dial in because you go softer and the ride is more comfy but you lose some handling. Then you tighten it up and the thing drives like a go kart which I absolutely love but its not as comfy. I haven't really been able to find a happy medium but I also haven't been driving much or changing the dials too much.

I do have to say that when I was in Boston, we took Uber everywhere and we were in everything from RAV4s, Camarys, Sonatas, Hondas, Acuras, etc, etc, etc. Every car I was in, I was thinking , damn this thing rides like shit! I got back to the beast at the Houston airport and I was like damn this thing drives amazing! Especially considering how low it is.

Lolll I'm debating on pulling the plug on these or going with the kwv3 living in NYC and trying to go low as possible don't really care much for handling just want to get low as possible and have a soft cushion ride over all these damn pot holes. You think if you put it on the softest setting it would come close to stock? The kw has a lot of bells and whistles I don't think I'll need. Once it gets me low and comfy I'll be satisfied. Thanks for the update!

I'm not sure. The softest setting I've put it on is half way so I imagine if I went softest, it would be damn plush.... BUT you have to keep your expectations in line. Whether you go with these, KWs, Eibach springs, etc, the ride will not be stock. There have been times on these coils that I saw a bump coming up and I braced for impact and everything was absorbed, all was well and I was completely surprised and satisfied. But I've also hit a pot hole from hell and it was jarring AF just like it was when I had the H&R springs on and just like it would be with KWs. There's no magic bullet for those. Unfortunately.

I would say if money ain't a thang and your priority is to go low and have the best ride, no doubt KW is probably the best choice. I say probably bc I haven't personally ridden on KW on a F15. But if you're like me and want a good option and save $1500, these absolutely ride better than my H&R setup and do the job for me.

Cool, I'm curious what that super low kit is about so post here what you learn. I also edited my last post as you were replying so make sure you read the rest of my response to you.

If it were up to me, I'd have these things almost on their tightest setting and carve my way around corners and in and out of lanes but the wife would kill me SO softish it is .

Lmao will definitely update soon as they respond.

Also interested in the super low kit so please share what information you obtain. I'm about a month out from ordering and am leaning towards KWV3s. Right now you can get these shipped for 2K after rebate.

2k is getting there but still twice the price and not sure that it would be worth it - for me. I do think their progressive springs will improve the comfort some but by how much, I'm not sure. It's been 10 years since I had KWs on a car and I can't really remember.

Emailed the company here's their response

8 month update? I'm in the market for an F15 but when I went for my test drive, absolutely hated the mushy/sway feel. This could be the remedy if I choose to buy!

Yes an update would be appreciated, I'm also considering getting these. I saw there was a super low kit on the site so I wonder if was added? They also offer a swift spring upgrade, does anyone know if it's worth it to upgrade?

[Atomicteal_M3]

Subscribed. Picked up a 2017 F15. Looking to moderately close the Gap.

[tacio25]

This looks great!! This is definitely an option for my new to me 2017 F15.

Where did you buy your silvers from and how much? How do you adjust the dampers since the fronts are not accessible because of the plastic cowl?

Directly from their website. Unfortunately you adjust from the top of the strut so you have to take all that plastic stuff off. I left most of that stuff off so that I can make adjustments faster.

I love my setup but I am running H&R springs in the rear. The spring that they sent with the kit are too soft and I was getting some bottoming out in the rear. My ride drives amazing now with the Silvers kit up front, Silver shock in the rear with H&R spring in the rear. If I could get it 1/2" lower in the rear, it would be 10/10.
