KW coilovers

There's a new set of Coilovers made for the EP3/EP4 hatches, my set is on my way for my EP3, should have them on July 4th Weekend!

There's a big thread on EPHatch. I'm not gonna repeat everything.

Not sure if they'll fit on a EM/ES civic, but I was all set to get my Tein SS coilovers which are made for a EM/ES before I found these... The only difference in installing is 2mm hole boring... but not sure about weight motion differences between the EP and EM/ES

KW Coilovers V2

Actually, Mex was saying they are very similar to B+G, as they have a main spring and helper spring... And he will probably be seeing my Coilovers before I install them, so he can compare his B+G coilovers to these.

the b+g's arent colorful for our cars. at least mine isnt. mine is just has silver springs, black shocks and the red spacer between the main and helper spring. but yea, tell us how they are.
