Hi there
I'm the owner, I just fitted a KW variant 3 on friday, had to keep it this high, because I wasn't able to get out of my garage 
I was 2 week busy with the engine, a new SPAL ventilator, coated a lot of stuff, but took me more time then expected...
Need to work the arches under de plastic, so the wheel won't hit the car all the time...
It looks, it can go much lower, but my stabilisator and engine are only 4 cm from the ground  And with the shit roads overhere...
Second problem is that I fancy cirquitdriving, Nürburgring etc, there my coilovers must not be to thight, the car has to be able to bouns about 1 cm, so it has an better grip on the road...
But don't worry, it will be good soon, just have the coilovers for a week now haha...
Today I'm mounting my new Sparco Corsa's  Didn't had time before Full Speed 
Have an Quaife ATB lying here, and many more
What's a cool meeting for us to visit in the UK? Can be fun
Sorry for the off-topic post haha

belgium has the worst roads in this region big holes, no real maintanance.. holland keeps the road's good.. but stuffs it with speedtraps.. so every long empty road.. beware to watch the bushes along the side of it...
however or homecity "rotterdam" has some kind of a speedbump addiction.. they put them everywhere possible
before raising my car a few cm i had to go back in 1way streets because of speedbumps halfway wich got me stuck

ouch. but i bet the average temperature wasnt 28degrees, and a peak of 46degrees. cant beat Toyota reliability. even at 46 ambient the car chugged along at 120kmh for a good few hours with a car full to the top with gear, temp gauge didnt even budge above normal
was gonna say might have been a 15v yr old shitbox, but was a toyota  say no more

its actually now in the garage getting repaired. failed water pump, broken pulley, buggered cam belt, tracking being sorted, 2 new tyres to replace the bald ones, cracked gearbox mounts and a split d'shaft. oh and i didnt even realise most of this was wrong, other than the tyres, hectic vibration under braking and a puddle of coolant under the car every morning

Just a little work to get them ready to coat (the piston area etc)
Calipers are done about 1.5 year ago
