KW Coilovers

They appear to be an extremly well built product. I've been told by many people how good KW's products are. I'm planning on ordering a set of the KW V1 or V2's in a week or so. Is there a better product on the market for the price. 1138$ for the v1's

You can get Koni coilovers for under $1k, which would be similar to the KW V2.

eh...matters what you mean by "similar" sure they will have the same adjustability (height and rebound), but the Koni spring rates, while fine for street driving, are too soft when it comes to any track/auto-x driving. The KWs would be perfect if you plan on doing 1 or 2 trackevents a year. If you're only gonna be doing spirited runs on the street, then you'd be fine with the cheaper koni's. If money isn't an issue, and I had to decide between KWs and Konis, I'd take the KWs hands down. They make great suspension products.

Thank you guys. I will be going with the KW's.... I need a stiffer spring rate incase i ever decide to go with a wider wheel...

MKGYI have more pictures of your car? I'm intrested in seeing what kinda drop they can give. 35-70mm, but I'd like to see it on a car before I throw down the money.
