tein flex vs kw V3 vs HKS rs vs jic

shopping for 3 weeks now and still dont know what to get

track/daily/drift<<<<

 

I have installed, set up and track tested KW coilovers on several cars now, and they have always yielded great results for track/daily. If/when I go with coilovers on the 8, I'm planning to go with KW V3.

I kinda come from the Euro side of things, though. I am most familiar with H&R, Eibach, KW, Koni, Bilstein, etc. I have no direct experience on a car I controlled (install/setup) with any of the other brands you mention, at least as far as suspension.

 

You can try here.

Several of us have them.

If you are lucky you can still get the sale price.

Just PM the members for feedback.

 

seam to have a lack of coilover owners

 

One thing I've always wondered about is how is the long term reliability of the KWs...

 

I'm the first one that got thme and they are over a year old now.

No problems at all.

Plus they have great service and you can get any parts you need for replacement.

 

i bought the tein flex ..installed them on my 07 8 and i like them. they are pretty stiff but im happy. I did have a few squeaks here and there but i turned my music up and they went away. hah. its very low..i dropped the back all the way and the front i had to raise about an inch because i couldnt turn. its level on all sides and i love them and the look.
