Wanted to bump this with a ride report on the KWs. I had CG Sportswagen in Bamberg align the car with ROW height and RS alignment. The camber looks super aggressive compared to before and the ride height looks more natural compared to the old SUV height. The Walrod bushings cured my steering wheel shake and tightened up control of the car, major improvement.

Took the car to the Nurburgring for opening Saturday, traffic sucked but it was still fun. The coiloves were set at 5 at the rear (factory setting + 2) and factory setting + 1 on the fronts. Shop recommendations. In the corners the car felt great until she reached her traction limit and then things happened very quickly. Her back end scooted out on me during our second lap when I turned into Adenauer-Forst with too much speed and I ended up doing a bit of a fish tail while trying to bleed off speed in the S curve there (I only have youtube driver's ed so forgive me for my lack of control). A blogger caught my mistake and I was on YouTube before the end of the day. The unpredictability could also be my Sumi ZRIII tires approaching their three year mark, I dunno.

Heading back to Bavaria right now, my wife is driving on the Autobahn and reports she actually prefers the single mass flyweel and sports clutch to stock.

Overall, the car feels great. Shared experience and setup advice with the KWs is always appreciated, happy Easter everyone

 

And a photo of the final look, I think the Cup IIs look nicer with the lowered car:
