KW v3...external resevoir all around.

But if you aren't going to track the car, then they are overkill...if you are only looking for aesthetics the PSS9 performs well and gives you the drop you're looking for at a decent price.

I thought the JICs had a horrible reputation for reliability and repairs. I would get the KW v3s. The only downside to these is the weight, they are made of steel, which is why they cost a bit less. But in terms of performance I beleive they are very high quality.

JIC products have terrible support and their reliability is poor (so you will need the support). I personally saw the wheel fall off a Subaru at a recent autX event where the JIC stut body tore in half.


The KWs are SS so they will not rust or corrode.

T1R has a newly designed coilover. Good street/autocross/track.
