I know the fortunes can ride just as nice but I think to accomplish that I'll have to go down on spring rate which I don't really want to do. I haven't quite made up my mind yet so nothing is set in stone.

Now if Terry tells me he'll keep revalving them until I think they are perfect then I'll definitely play ball.

Yaaaa true. Swing by the shop and talk to him about it, im about to buy some from him. My buddy clubs are worn out.

Well you buy some and let me go for a ride. I honestly don't remember how mine felt. All I remember is I've never been on anything that felt as good as those KW's I had on the Sti

You'll be happy, but if you track the car you will probably ending up needing to rebuild the Konis after too long at that spring rate.

I have custom DA koni yellows and 650/500 springs. I think its really stiff, but bought the setup used and tuned specifically for the track. As the last owner (FF2Skip) has the S2000 track record at Summit Point, I havent wanted to mess with it.

The full GC kit is nice, I would have no qualms about running that over some crappy $1k coilovers.

DGR has a group buy going on right now. Think they are less than $1000. The owner's name is Russell, & I've talked to him. He took a lot of time and answered a bunch of questions I had. I just bought the KW V3s tonight, but I had really considered going with DGR. Might be worth a look.
