I had KWs on my first G37 and am purchasing them for my second G37. They are great and no issues as Aliiin said.

Most coils will have occasional noises, expect it. Although the KDubs have not really had any issues so far and seem like the best option out right now.

So apparently all the noises i had for the past 4 months were caused by my end links being loose. One actually came off completely from the sway

sorry for the mini hijack OP

KWs are great, and so are my JICs

The KWs are pretty pricey...There are so many other choices out there. Are we all just a bunch of sheep that fallow the herd? KWs are the chit for someone who wants to track there car and be COMPETITIVE. As far as the occasional run down a twisty road, and the once in a blue moon track day why spend the money? 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!
