Kw wtf!!!!!!!'
I purchased KW3 coilovers from Auto Talent in L.A a few weeks ago after talking with KW about there coupe coilovers fitting and working on the vert.I was told that they would work fine.The online store also shows the same part # for the coupe and the vert.Well Suprise,Went to install them this weekend and found out that the rear shock mount on the vert is in a totally different location and has a eye bolt mount and the KW has a fork mount.I called KW this morning and they said "Wow I guess it will not work"A company like KW and they don't know what will or will not work?I asked them why it was on there online store and they said they were in the process of removing it.Some R&D ? I receive a email from BC stating that there coilover for the vert was ready.Any thoughts on BC coilovers?

Yeah, without R&D or someone trying it and have it work for the vert (This goes for anything, not just coilovers), I won't touch it. It took 2 years for someone other than ARK to test and fit their Grip Exhaust. So go figure. I mean it works with some minor adjustments but at least now we know. Very limited after market support unless you bug the manufacturers fr support and have their engineer peeps actually do some research.

I talked with JIC and they are coming out with a new line of Coil-Overs for the g37. I am not sure about the Vert but you may want to talk to them.
Keep in mine IMO I think JIC is the best coil over system out there but they are pretty high in price.

The noise issue with BC was cleared up quite some time ago. Most of the problems were on the initial sets or due to improper installation. They are good coils for the price. Can you get better, yes. Do you need better to go to the grocery store or the movies, probably not. If you plan on building a track monster or want to overpay for something you dont need and wont use to full potential then hold off.
P.S. I have the first set of BC's ever put on a G37. Had them for 4+ years now with no noise or problems.

Shame on kw coilovers not to look more into the fitment on the vert instead of just blurring out saying it would fit , I have as well contacted bc about there coilovers and they said its ready and the part number is V-12,
I talked with BC today.None in stock.They have to build them,2 to 3 weeks.Thinking about trying a set with the Swift spring up grade.I really wanted the KW quality,But I will give the BC's a try.It is my only coilover option at this time.I will post on the out come.
I herd JIC start making there stuff in China now
