Default KW Adjustable Spring Kit fitment - MPN#: 25331005

HI all - has anyone tried to fit one of these kits below to a 2021-2023 FType AWD? I installed a set of VAP lowering springs, but those didn't give me the stance I wanted. I am hoping these KWs fit as they will give me more control over the stance. KW can only confirm these fit R AWD models up to 2020. Hoping someone has experience or knowledge that can help.

Many thanks!

I'm also considering VAP springs and KW HAS springs for my 2021 F-type. Hopefully someone can chime in regarding KW HAS compatibility with 2021+ models. Out of curiosity, do you have pictures of your car with VAP springs? Curious to see how the stance looks considering they seem to be highly regarded on this forum.

Yep - attached. Things to note - my left front gap was about 1/8" lower than may right front gap. It came that way from the factory. Maybe a shock that hasn't settled, Im not sure. It also think that some of the newer models have more of a rake to their stance stock, versus an even gap from fender to wheel on all 4 sides. I am going for a more even gap all around, so im hoping the KWs can do that. For AWD (if the KWs work) they say that the drop is .8", about 2 millimeters less than the VAPS, BUT I have spoken with someone who has the KWs on their 2019 SVR, and he said that they had the ability to get lower than that on his.



Before / After VAP

Thanks for sharing the pic. I hear you, not a big fan of the rake. I wish VAP would release an updated set of springs for a more even look. With VAP springs you have there, I think the front is a little too low, the car looks slammed whereas the rear could be tiny bit lower. I also saw on another post that you ordered yourself the KW HAS kit. Would appreciate if you can share your results with them.

Yep. I’m hoping the KWs fit and go a bit lower than the .8” average they say. If not, that’s as low as my rear can get.

Update - the KWs fit my 2023 AWD R with slight modifications to the perch. I haven't gotten it back yet, but they were able to drop a lot more than the 20mm as advertised. Will post pics when I pick it up next week.

Looks much better than the VAP springs with that weird rake. I prefer a slightly less slammed look in general mostly for drivability but regardless this is how lowering should be. How is the ride compared to the VAP springs with the car lowered this much on KW?

The ride is great. Really happy I went this route. I am sure the VAPS are fine on some, but from what i can tell, the newer models have a larger rake than the older models from the factory, (or at least mine did) and the VAPs lower it the same amount on all 4 sides. I have a lot more flexibility now.
