Never had them, but a lot of people even on other forums always seem to metion KW in terms of ride and decent trackability.

I've had HKS on the last several cars and really like them as well. The new ones for the Z have an upper mount (not always incl with some KW's) that still has a rubber bushing so it's not as harsh and they are 30 way adjustable. Also the height does not effect the spring rate like some coilovers. I'd look at those too.

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)

The dirty little secret is that most of these $1000 coilover sets are made by the same company in china and a different label is slapped on them. 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.

^^Sharif, since you aren't involved, which companies are made by the same Chinese company. And if they are made at the same factory, do you know if they are made with the same raw materials? We all know that just because they are manufactured (sourced) through the same factory, they can still have different parts. Are you saying they are all the same parts, just different colors/nameplates? And if so, which ones?
