KW coilovers --- can unsticky
gb ppl! on the kw suspensions. full coilover set.
link to KW ... all the info you need
if you search the suspension forum.. quite a few ppl got 'em already.. and all good reviews so far.
as of now, we're prollly gonna go for the KW v2 coilover model.
if you wanted the v1 or v3 coilovers.. its fine also, but let me know.
they are stainless steal... just by that term, its already better then the Tein's for ppl like me up here in canada. *no offence boohaha =) .....
currently, the v2 aree on sale for 1150US shipped. that comes out to roughly 1650cdn. at that price.. its already ready cheaper then the tein's that are quoted in the GTA. so the more ppl we can get.. the cheaper it will be.
regular price is roughly around 1400US.
ask your friends as well.
THEY DONT HAVE TO HAVE A 7THGEN. TO PURCHASE THIS... if they have a different type of car.. its still good! ... just let me know what kind of car and i'll see if it's available or you can check on the website yourself.
i'll give it a two week deadline to a month... depending on how many ppl are shoing interest... if you need more time.. to get your funds together.. or anything, let me know
there are at least two ppl in it for sure
hopefully three.. but im still waiting for NETCBC to reply back.

Rep Power: 316 Hey guys
I wish I would have waited for this group buy!!!
There is NO duty, because they ship them from BC. The north american distributor is actually in either surrey, richmond, or somewhere on the mainland in BC I _THINK_. I know it's in BC
anywho, I gotta say...I'm in love with these!!! They are infinitely adjustable (they designed the struts with the help of koni), and they are covered in INOX. This means that they will not rust!
The rust factor was what made me buy these over the tein SS's.
As for performance...holy shizit! After doing a few autocross events with them...i'm VERY impressed!!! I have the settings tuned perfectly, and can feel a HUGE difference from my stock struts (garbage) and goldline springs. No comparison.
if anyone wants more of a push to buy these, PM me. I love these, and paid a helluva lot more than 1650 for them...but would pay it all over again to get these great coilovers!

Rep Power: 316 just to reply about the settings:
I actually just keep on fine tuning the settings. I leave the settings the same all the time, and then just fine tune them during autocross.
but, once the season is over (this sunday is the last event), I'm going to raise the car, soften the settings, and possibly take off my X-Brace (basically, winterize my car)
but...the great thing about the V2's...STAINLESS STEEL! which means I don't have to tkae them off for the winter.
sweet.

Rep Power: 316 yup, it's the neuspeed x-brace.
basically, yes, it helped
the point where the front wheels give is the same, but instead of gradually giving up to that point...it's nice and firm all the way to the edge.
so, when understeering, you still have quite a bit of control, and then *pop*...it gives.
I'd definitely recommend the x-brace. as for the cusco rear, that's something I wanna get too. I've just got a crappy e-bay rear strut brace which does practically nothing
in the future: mugen 25mm rear sway. I've got the 22mm DC5 type-R sway, but the understeer still sucks.

Rep Power: 0 Where can I get the mugen rear anti-sway bar? and Idea if it will work with the progress mounting kit? Or is the Mugen Rear Anti-sway bar only for the US Si? Cause I have an HX, which means, no rear sway bar...

Rep Power: 316 macrossranma: I have the hotckis endlinks, so I'm not worried about the endlinks...although if they were stock, they would have already broken with my DC5 type-R rear sway (22mm).
Renamazazo: you can order it from a few places online. It's designed and built for the integra (RSX), but it fits our cars perfectly.
If you didn't have a rear swaybar as a stock item, you will need to weld on a bracket to attach it to, and you'll need to get some endlinks.
You will also have to drill some support holes in the rear subframe.
as for it fitting with the progress kit: not sure, because the bar is a different size. So long as the bushings you get with the mugen bar are the same outside diameter as the progress bushings...you'll be fine.

Rep Power: 0 I think it will fit cause if it fits on a ex, which has a sway bar, then it should fit on my car with the mounting kit. If the bushings a little to big to fit, then I can just dremel some away...
