If your into the bragging factor then more power to you! But for the normal guy like most of us we would never notice the difference. I have put coilover on almost every car i have owned and can not tell the difference between the 2500.00 set and a 1500.00

My point is don't always beleave the hype!
Love this statement, I totally agree with you. But someone people will disagree with you strongly...

still waiting...


Exactly everyone does the same thing!

If you want more credit card debt the KWs are the way to go!

if it's making noises, send it back to the vendor you got it from. It shouldn't be making any type of noise at 200 miles nor 20k miles. Just wondering, if they are making noise at 200 miles, why would you sat the best out there??

Haha I was thinking the same thing.

Noises at 200 miles in no way equals the "best out there."

Through time we/I have installed, driven in, or in some way been a part of several hundred coilover installs at least, on lots of different cars.
I come to terms that there is always going to be a few coilover installations that make some sort of noise, for any number of reasons. I have never seen this be too consistant with any particular brand.

Are the KWv3's the best setup for our G's? What about Tein? I believe they are more expensive but are they actually better?

What's wrong with your JIC's? I'm actually thinking of getting those instead of the KW's.

nevermind, got the answer as I kept on reading.

I installed BC Racing Coilovers on my G a few weeks ago, and absolutely love them. I have had no problems with rattles at all. I have about 450 miles on them and they are doing great. I don't think you can find a better coilover for the price.

The track will be the real test, cant wait till i can get her out there!!
