kw coilovers?

i've tried searching this forum, but it seems that not many people have this suspension. i read the review from dezod, but i was wondering if any others have had any experience with this coilover specific to our cars? i wanted teins, but from my understanding, they can't go that low. b+g, thats what im currently on, but i bought it used and its making a bunch of noises and the ride quality has gotten really bad... megan, i dont feel that they have had much experience and its a little premature to judge their suspension products, so i would rather pay a little more for a proven quality product...

so i was just wondering about kw, does any one have any pics? can the car be dropped pretty low with this suspension, and how is the ride and build quality of the product?

thanks in advance

liljoe is an unknown quantity at this point
I've got them. I'm not very low, maybe about the same as Neuspeed sport (1.5 inch). I guess I could go a lot lower but, I'm not going to. The ride on them is a little on the harsh side.
If your getting coilovers for looks/low drop, get something else. If your looking to outhandle a Porsche, the KW are awesome!

I've had b&gs for 30k and they still feel pretty good. they make noise, but they ride a lot better than other rides ive been in with tein coilovers and other spring/ stock strut combos. why not stay with them?

I've heard some good things about KW... seems to be that they are more interested in making the car handle well then saving your Kidnys though....
