I was in the middle of purchasing Tein SSP but the deal fell through, thankfully. Now I am torn between KW V3 or saving on money and getting BC with custom spring rates, typically I would spend more for the quality but my friend who is a car fiend said there wouldn't be a 700$ difference in ride quality between both coil over set ups.

I don't track, I want looks and I rarely take corners sideways or anything, I take it easy but I want the looks and ride quality.

Suggestions would be great or experiences. BC BRs or the KW V3s

Tenabe is out of the question but Tein flex as well, is possible I am stuck between which ones to choose

 

i would take the tenabe over the BC.....but that's just me

 

Tanabes were great, but kw is amazing. It was a night and day difference when i switched. I have my kws set at 9 clicks which is more firm then the tanabes but still so much smoother. Imho, its worth the price jump i would gladly do it again

 

I just had the KW's installed, finished the adjustments today. (Check out my latest picture in my garage.)

So far so good:

+ I have the "softness" set in the middle at the "9 clicks" setting and I cannot tell the difference b/t stock sport suspension and new system in terms of absorbing bumps.

+ I have the rear set at the extreme to keep as minimum a drop as possible and stay within camber spec (actually I am just barely out of spec and would need rear camber arms to nudge back into spec).

+ If you don't want to drop the back at all, I think you should look elsewhere, since there is no, "no drop" option with these coil overs.

+ While the bumpiness seems the same, there is a palpable tightening of the overall ride which feels so much better when you push the car in the corners and start and stop suddenly.

+ I hate the stock fender gap in the front -- the KW's allow you to put the front right where you want in terms of ride height and fender gap.

Good Luck,

Sco1oter

 

if you want quality and care about rarity, i have my aragosta for sale!

 

Stance coils. I have had 3 different sets and this is my fav so far.

 

I would love those coilovers if they made it for AWD

 

this.

love my stances!

 

Where is everybody getting their Stance coils from? Are you guys buying the GR+ model as well? Looking to buy these myself..

 

Yup, GR+.. bought mine from a vendor here last year. I will be taking them out this sunday and puttin them up for sale, if you're interested. (parting with the car)

 

Then just buy springs.


.

 

Springs aren't an option I'm keeping this car for 5+ years. I have been told many times by a few people that the BC BR with custom spring rates are a good choice. I am just hoping to hear from somebody directly who has BCs. I know KW is a good choice...money isn't growing on trees right now though! I want a two inch drop to clear the wheel gap and keep it flush with 18x9.5 various possible offsets..but thanks everyone for your input the more the better!

 

Definitely do the BC Racing Br with custom spring rates! i Have Bc racing right now and i love the way they are with ride comfort to adjustability. I definitely need custom spring rates though which is one thing i regret not getting!

 

I have the BC BR, quite happy with them. Also on square 18x9.5s on a sedan.

 

To you two, do you have ANY complaints or issues with them at all??
