How do you want your car to handle?
Tein SS will push in the corners sooner then the KW's, and the KW's may want to oversteer sooner.... Thats just from looking at the spring rates.

Rep Power: 412 There is NO BEST of anything. you have to find the right part for you by searching, reading, and figuring out what you want the car to do. Look at the FAQ in my sig for different coilover companies, then read what people have to say.

Rep Power: 380 I'm waiting on KW to offer the Type III. if they dont, then Ill just order some Custom valved Konis and have at it. Seems that Most of the top Autocrossers at the nationals Run Konis, so whats good enough for them is probably good enough for me.

Rep Power: 380 Not that I wouldnt get the KW2's but The Type IIIs would be more usefull/Adjustible for what I do, Autocross. See, I allready have performance springs, and to me its just not worth it to buy a full coilover set up for $1000 when I allready have good springs and can pick up a set of Single adjustible shocks for half that. The KW Type III's would be worth the extra $$$ (Around $2000) because they are both Compression and Rebound adjustible, Very usefull for autocross.
If I didnt allready have springs, then Yes the Type II's would be on my list of possiblities, but since I do, why spend the extra $$$$?

Rep Power: 380 I have H&R springs too, and I agree they are not the best for autocross. But with the right anti-roll bars the car Handles well, and is not too rough for street use. I'm just looking at Konis right now. If KW does offer the type III relitivly soon, then I'll put off on the Konis and save for them.
