KW Varient 1 - are spacers needed even for a mild drop?

I've been thinking about getting the KW coilovers an have read that spacers
are usually needed. Are the spacers still needed for factory wheels if
the drop is only around 1.25 inches.

thanks

A couple of things:
1. Not enough info to make the assessment. Which wheels? What size and offset wheel? What tire size?
2. You will get more responses in the 2nd Gen Suspension Mod or the Tire/Wheels/Brakes sections of NAM.

For what it's worth, I have about 1.25" drop on my KWs with 215/45R17, ET45 and had to use a 5mm spacer.
