Kw are good coilovers!

I'm pretty sure you can ask anyone who has them on this forum, it's pretty unanimous that we all love our KW V3's. :tup:

... although I kind of wish I had gotten the Robispec ones from the beginning.

Bump from hell.. Searched and found this thread. Anyone here running this or the Umbrella ones??

Hey Gene, I actually just ran across this tread as well in a google search trying to look a bit more into this. I have e-mailed KW for all info regarding cost and complete setup and function for this on my G, I am sure it will not be much different for the Z's. I asked them to explain their system compared to Umbrella's as well. I will update you when I have a response.

you guys should just get the roberuta cup kit, that thing is amazing...

Ive sold a few of these at my old job (Vivid) and they were up there is price, iirc you have to use the KW v3 set up with them plus the HLS. Last set I sold was in the 8k range.

^ so if KWv3's are around 2k, that puts the HLS at 6k? Was that front only or front and rear?

I emailed Umbrella a few days ago, only info I got back was they offer front only for our cars and its ~$2400

HLS is a great kit, we just had a customer get one for his GT-R and he loves it. It's not a cheap kit though...

sub'd for updates. Very interested on these.

I got some details on this.
There are 2 different set ups. One for just the front, and one for the full car.
It is only guaranteed to fit KW Brand Coil overs. It is essentially a little air system. You replace the lower spring seat with the one supplied in the HLS system. It uses a mini compressor to air up giving you 1.5 to 2 inches of lift. It then holds this height for 15-20 seconds and automatically airs it down.
I got some pricing on it, but its crazy expensive.

and the number is.....?

Crazy expensive. lol
MSRP for the HLS 2 Kit: $3545
MSRP on the HLS 4 Kit: $4669
And don't forget, you gotta shell out the skratch on the coil overs themselves.

Just get a full air ride suspension kit. Seems this is almost what it basically is. It would run about $2500 to $3000 and be done with it.

The HLS system can be adapted for use with other coilovers with minor modification to the perches.
