he switched to KW V3< he never installed them after speaking to others on the forum about the problems they had so he sent them back and got a refund minus restock fee.he now has the V3, I have the newest V3 on my car for over 6000 miles and can't say enough good about them. Remember and i say this to many, always go with the brand that has the best quality and outright engineering, look at KW videos online and see what this brand is about. they don't mess around on autocross or play trial and error, they use a 7 post chassis rig,the world famous Nurburgring and real race engineers to develop their kits. Any doubts why Roush chose them to do their coilover kits? hands down they offer the best kits on the market from the ST, V1 and V3 for the street market and occasional racer. yes you can spend double to get even better but that wont be suited for the street or daily driver crowd.
Yes and no when you think about true development brands such as Eibach, KW and others you have to really see how much they put into the design and engineering of suspension products where as smaller brands grab the parts bin, weld on some new brackets and do mix and match parts until they find what works. Just because some brands have shock dynos does not mean they are the go to source for what you truly need. I am a believer in extensive testing in all conditions and engineering to the greatest degree. This is why lesser brands have issues always with noise, quality and overall customer satisfaction. How many guys do you EVER hear with coil spring issues with any Eibachs on our cars? uneven lowering, coil slapping, noise etc. none but there are many complaints with other branded lowering springs. same principal. I am very happy with the Kw V3 on my car now and i have installed over 12 of these kits for friends and their friends these past few months and same results. My personal car may have the most miles on a Kwv3 so far who knows but they work better than everything we tested which does come with a much higher sticker price.
No comparison but if you can afford the V3 GET THEM!!!
I understand all that, and as a (now retired) engineer I'm very familiar with the idea of engineering your way toward a solution. But at some point you still have to stop crunching numbers, put the calculator down, and just drive the damn thing.
For versatility and ease of changing settings, would you say that AirLift would also give you quality, convenience, and versatility? I know SC_Ruby really likes his setup.
What problems with the ridetechs are you reffering to? I ask because I am interested in them.
