What do you guys think of this supsension over the TEIN SS, is it worth the extra money, and is the ride going to be closer to stock? To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

The ride is going to be much stiffer (Much higher spring rates) and the V2s will ride rougher then the SSs too, but IMO they will handle better then the SS.

sacrafices, huh? Gotta pick one over the other.

Ride quality VS. Performance

I would choose ride quality for now until performance can fit in my walet and free time.

1150 for KW Variant 2 shipped... but that was before.. not sure about now

www.kwsuspensions.com

handling is amazing.... you get used to the rough ride after a while... it's not that bad.

but if you sit in a car with SS compared to the KW variant 2... you will feel the difference............ i did.
