If anyone has a set of these, or something equivelent like Zeal's or PSS9, shoot me a PM.
But like Mike R said, lower springs !
I wouldn't call the Zeals or Blistens "equivalent" to the kwv3.

If you just want to dump it, why don't you just get some lowering springs or some cheaper coilovers?
i never said i was going to dump the s though i would like that option if i choose to do so which my current tein ra's won't let me do, lowest setting slightly tucked in the front, finger gap at the rear

i don't like the limitations with changing springs only and cheaper c/o's can be an option if they retain a good level of performance

personally i like what i have read/heard about kwv3 and i value a quality suspension, i would not skimp in this area

btw the ra's are DAMN, I MUST BE SLIPPING

$2000USD landed, I think at the time the exchange rate was around $0.86
Then did you have to pay any custom tax on top of that?

ahhh no I did not, Max can probably help out with that

Although I might have just gotten lucky...not like when I ordered 14 tyres from tirerack LOL

I don't understand uneven F/R gaps from lower suspension but anyways, I'm back on street tyres and the ride is as smooth as a babies ass, I love it...and I can't believe I didn't do it earlier!!! arrgh

Winton this Sunday! I can't wait!!!

^^ how many kms and what variant is your jazz? $14.5k is abit pricy for anything older than 05 and non VTI-S
Private sale maybe but dealers have no problem asking for $17k for an 04 VTI-S.

Went through the same exercise with the Mrs Jazz a short while ago. Ended up keeping it and forking out over a grand for three hard to find baby seats that fit in the back row (thanks Vuey for inspiring me into making the effort to look for those seats).
