Decided what coilovers to get: KW's

Just ordered my KW's direct, with the EPhatch discount - $1150 shipped. Should get them next weekend he said. Talked with Glen - he said that there really isn't an issue with using them on a EM2 vs the EP3....Can't wait to see what they look like!

I'll try and take pics of the whole process, since I am going to try and upgrade the bushings (front and rear) with energy suspension poly bushings. The bushings actually came thursday! Now all I need to do is get the coilovers!

I've seen my friend's teins, I have yet to recieve my KWs, but feature wise they're better than tein SS or B+G... Quality wise, they're stainless steel, but there's alot more that goes under the "quality" category, so we'll just have to see, but my best guess is they're at least up there with tein and B+G, if not better. KW at least gives technical data on their items, like the give charts on their rebound, and spring rates (which B+G doesn't).

I paid 1275$ originally, but am going to be getting a check for the difference of the ephatch offer for 1150$ since I ordered before they came out with that stellar discount. Ocelaris
