The FLT-TAR is no longer being made, just beware of that should you need parts.

-TUV certification for every height adjustment
-Stainless Steel Construction
-All parts are made in house

More info:
Front Drop: 0.8-1.8
Rear Drop: 0.2-1.8
Part #: 35285007

okay, so i found a used set of coil over. And the owner said the thread is messed up and need to rethread. And i found out that a local shop that can does it, only 2 shocks needs to rethread.

Question is, is it safe to ride with the shocks rethread? and should i get it and rethread it?

Did you ever make a choice or purchase?
why not Aragosta Both JIC and KW make great coilovers but I think the Aragosta has a slight edge over both.

I would only go with Aragosta if I building a track car! $5K setup just for the streets is big dump of money Bro!

KW V1 if you want KW to fine tune your shocks. KW V3 if you need that control over your rebound. Also if you going with KW v3 make sure you get corner balancing! if you are going to track it every now and then!

Also look into bilstein coilovers! from what I hear they are very good! I would go with them if my KW go out one day.

Bilstein make Coilovers for Amuse for the G37/370z. Can't go wrong with those!

KW V1 is a good choice too. Does the V1 offer the quick adjustment top?

I can't comment on the other brand, but I have the KW V3 and I am very, very happy with them.
