kw's and Bilstein coilovers are awesome. Proper R&D was done before these coilovers were released to the public. You can't go wrong with either one

Do you have KSport coilovers? I don't believe KW makes coilovers for AWDs.

I've had multiple sources tell me now to go with the KW Variant3's.... my shop in Toronto specifically. The prices are basically the same.. tough decision because unlike shoes I can't just try sets on until I like the feel.

On the bright side my RHFC and CBE is odered from FI... should be ready to bold on the start of MAY!

Only negative to KW is that a spacer is needed for the rear spring for the sedan application to prevent droopy butt and KW very specifically warns that using the spacer voids the damper warranty. Even though they themselves say the spacer is needed...

That's why I was looking at the Bilstein's to begin with... I don't want/need the car to be slammed. No much point in having adjustable ride height if the highest settling is still too low.

Might also give a look at RS-Rs, made in Japan and have a good reputation

I like the idea of the Bilsteins but they don't provide enough info for comparison shopping purposes.

Guess this email response from KW below pretty well sums it up....

Steve,

Thank you for contact KW.

I do apologize but we do not offer a coilover for the sedan models and only the coupes.

We have had customer purchase the coupe kit for the sedan and have issues with fitment which is why we only list it for the coupe models.

I do apologize we do not offer anything for your application.

Probably Megan LP street coilovers. I have them on my RWD G and have about 50k miles on them and they've held up well, they are a bit squeaky when cold (in the rear) but other than that, no issues.
