I learned about KW through EPHATCH.com. Interestingly enough, I was actually thinking about buying an Si. However, I've put too much time and money into my 01 EX Coupe.

Conceptually, the KW's should be better than anything on the market for our cars in the same price range. I'm particularily stoked about the "tender spring" and the fact that they're a matched spring/shock combination with rebound adjustment. All for only $1150 shipped.

I figure mine will come in a couple of weeks. That will give me enough time to get a much needed clutch and flywheel installed. I'm thinking I'll go with a Clutchmasters/Fedanza combo.

one question, do they come with Camber plates like Tein Flex or Jic?

and can you get them in Version 3 (I think thats what they are called) with both Compression and rebound dampining adjusments? how about different spring rates?

Best suspension you can buy in my oopinion.... I love mine and would never get another brand. I had the drop zone set up first and threw them away. NEVER BUY DROPZONE.

I thought they might be too stiff. Unless they offer different spring rates. Pls post review.

For your Civic, the V2 coilover retails for $1435.00, while the upper castor mounts retail for $340.00 for the front set.

Shipping is 50.00 for the coilovers to you.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you have regarding these kits.
