Hiyall!
Seem to remember you needed spacers upfront with the combo KW V3 and CSL's?
I've yet only measured checked the wheel-to-strut distance and there seems to be more space with CSL's than OEM wheels?

I think there's a little more, but not much. 10mm is fine and actually evens up the front/rear poke perfectly.

I had the same query - forum to the rescue, as usual.

Thanx, it just seems weird to me for KW to make a kit that wouldn't work with the std wheels. Indeed the instructions doesn't mention spacers anywhere.

So I assume they will work just fine with my particular CSL's without any spacers then?

I do not want any spacers as the tires WILL start to rub - a no-go in my book.

I've got club sports and csl wheels and I needed 12mm spacers but I'm set quite low, the spring perch is almost in line with the rim of the wheel on the inside. The V3 spring design could cause more trouble if you wanted to run low...
