We have been approached to carry out own line of brakes and coilovers by the sam companies that make this stuff. We passed. Not enough rd and thought/real testing that goes into many of these products. You would be shocked to know how much those coilovers are imported for. :)

Good info!! I didn't know they had the rubber bushing. That's what I would have liked for the Megan coilovers.
Curious on weather the KWs use a rubber mount also??

I'm learning the hard way. I've only known German vehicle products in the past!! (past cars) :rolleyes:

I believe the Variant 1/2/3 models you have to use your stock upper mount. The Clubsport model comes with an upper mount. I think the reason has to do with it not being TUV compliant to change the upper mount in Europe. You can see that in the pics of thier products:
KW

HKS mentioned the mount in thier product description as well as being able to get a mount with a spherical bearing as an option:

I ran Japanese HKS coilovers on my German car (M3) lol.



Not 100% sure but I think when I was considering coilovers for my M3 someone told me twin tube. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also I know for sure HKS suspensions are build at thier HQ in Japan. Several years ago I went on a Tokyo Auto Salon tour where we got to go to HKS and we walked by the the area where the parts are made and the clean room where they are assembled.
