Getting coilovers and I have few questions

RCZ · 05-13-2010, 10:57 AM

In terms of quality of a product, I'd go KW. I've had TEIN in the past (flex) and everything started creaking when going over fast bumps. No problems from my KW.

There is a difference though in performance. The KW V3's are designed for the street with some track. KW Clubsports are more track with some street. Don't think they have clubsports for us yet.

I think the monotubes are better compared to a set of clubsports.

Great resource

The noise you hear from Tein's is the pillow ball upper mount. KW's have a rubber mount, which won't make as much noise. The noise is not an issue of quality.

Those are both good choices. I'd consider HKS too, I've had them on several cars and was always happy with street and occasionl track use. The newest version has independant height adjustment and a rubber bushing in the aluminum upper mount to reduce harshness/noise. Product info HERE
Looks something like this:

We like the HKS too!

Kinda hard for street though IMO
