I have heard that the KW's are good

Teins I heard are good

B+G some people think they are a stiff ride and they aren't adjustable

Hayame just came out with a set of coilovers, the help of tokico, also non adjustable,

Jic-magic I heard are good as well. adjustable

I've heard of KW once by Spanky. I think he is the only person in So Cal with KW.

Tein's are nice.. but they don't warrenty blows

B+G "Tein kock offs" - Friend w/ IS300

JIC-MAGIC: good stuffs

Does anyone know how much KWs run?

PunkingCivic: Thanks for the rebate!! $200 w00t w00t!

AlpineCivic: Good luck, Hope you get what your lookin' for!

B&G are adjutable. Where did you hear that they are not? I would go with B&G or JIC

Depending on what your doing the thing i would suggest to call each company because some setups dont let u go any lower then 1.5 with out it blowing. So what ever you do call the company and do some research to get you what u want. Because even though the product has all the threads for it to go as low as you want it doesnt mean that it wont blow the shock and then ur out a few hundred.

for that deal, i'd say get the basic. I have basic right now and it rides nice. not as silky smooth as stock suspension but a little stiffer. The ride is not uncomfortable at all. $700 on new basic is sick cheap. I thought I got a okay deal for $850 picked up.

If u got the money, want to go low, want to have the camber adjustment at ur finger tips want to have everyone jelous my self being one of them lol. GET JIC magic's best set-up IMO, or if u want to be baller! and don't mind the 1.5 drop get the mugen set up for the ep fits on our vic's perfectly. That's what I want jic or the mugen set up the run about the same price. And would be the pimpest, most gangsta way to go! The ride would be the best also.

I got the V2 from KW they just sent it to me for my car really nice set up and i got it for a sponsor price so im happy. Also i did alot of research on them and there really good for what they are. I was going to get TEIN's but i figured out that those arnt worth the hassle IMO.

Do some pics and a DIY if possible
I like DIYS plus your ride is dope!

NytRyder2k2, maybe I'm wrong about the B&G, I never seen them in person another member the other in anther forum said that he had them on the ride and they were not adjustable.

You should be happy with the teins. You dont really need the dampening adjustement unless you race. The ride should be better than your previous setup and its pretty cheap for what your gettin.

There are different parts that come from B&G as far as the coilover/Dampering kit it is full adjustable but if he got the B&G cup kit then those are 2 step adjustable where u can lower the perch to fit ur needs but it doesnt go as low.
