Did the KWs drop into the Nivo mount, or did you have to go with SRT8 Nivos?
I like the idea of going with the SRT8 ones, as I like the feature of them, just wondering if they'd fit or ..
Anywho, TIA

Anyone?
Ordering KWs does nothing for me if I can't install them in the rear....
Do I need different rear shocks/dampers or will the KWs fit?
TIA

Kws Are Complete Set Up Front And Rear.the Nivo Cant Be Lowered In The Rear Anyway

Mabye I'm asking the wrong question.
SRT8s have a lowered Nivo option.
KWs are seperate spring and shock for rear applications (combined for front strut)
Will the KW rear shock mount in the nivo lower mount or not I guess is the only question.

Woot, TY.
I think I misread your first response to say: You folks with Nivos can't lower your shiz.
If I get it now, it says: Stock shocks and Nivos have the same mounts, as do the KWs, and If I wanted, I could go with SRT8 Nivos with the lowered spring in the rear? (I'm not slamming my ride, just going down about 1.5-2").
Sorry for my confusion.

Sorry for my confusion.You didn't misread it.You cannot lower your car and use nivomats....they must be removed.

/enter confusion again
Since the SRT8s have a nivomat option (the SRT8s sit 1.5" lower than my AWD) and I'm only lowering my AWD by about 1.5", is it conceivable/feasible to use the SRT8 nivos in place of mine? They should level themselves out at the stock ride height of the SRT8, no?
I understand fully how the nivos work, and I know I can't reuse mine due to the rear load being held by the shock instead of the spring at that point.

If you want to lower your AWD, you need to buy a coilover kit such as KW or ST, or go with airbag suspension. The Nivomats must go.

You can try but I would just get a set of KW's or ST's to drop your car.
the AWD cars or the mutant of the family
