Did the springs fitted to your car have closed ends ground flat?

I think the KW springs on Troy's car need a perch mount that is shaped to the ends so the load is spread evenly

Yep.

Much quicker and easier to bag companies on the internet though.

KW do recommend using their strut tops, so if looking at the V3's, considering going clubsports to get the tops. Was a $500 difference on top of the $2700 I'd been quoted locally on V3's, so not cheap.

I'll have a look at the FK springs and Kmac hats tonight to see how that worked as I can't recall.

Cool thanks for that, can you look at how the spring sits

Why did you pull the Kmac tops out of the car, you could not run them with the H&R's ?

I could always change the springs like Eddy has done ?

Yes mate, the top hats that were on the FK's were the wrong size for the H&R's. I think the FK springs were narrower, so a smaller top hat. My timely alternative was to source the factory tops.

I'll measure it and if appropriate take photo's tonight for you.

See pic below of the Kmacs on the FK strut. The top hat does sit flat on the spring, like the pic Kaanage showed above. There is now evident warping of the kmac tops. Let me know if I can help further.
