Default COILOVERS

I am on the market for coilovers, I am interested on KW V3.
Cheapest price I've found so far is 1900$.
Do u guys know if any vendors, maybe one of our sponsor, can have a better price?

I was just in the same boat as you, ended up going with Ohlin DFVs as I wanted single adjust and the third path for oil on high speed rebound really looks dope. The KW's are great too though, and had I got those my car would have them instead of waiting for 2 months. Anyways, thats irrelevant. Have you considered going used and getting them rebuilt/valved? Would most likely come out a little cheaper and you can get something that suits your use specifically.

Honestly I did not.
I was also considering koni and have them custom build the coilover based on my needs.
I drive my car once or twice a week at the most sometime not even that, so I don't care about comfort I actually like a stiff set up.
I want my car to handle like a race car.

Have you considered the CR suspension? If you're not after looks of lowered, or 1,000 ways to misadjust your damping, its an excellent choice.

If it was me, I'd spend the extra $500 or whatever and get Ohlins. But then, I spent the extra when it was more like $1000. The DFV technology makes these the perfect shocks for street use. Still "handles like a race car" ... whatever that is.

I agree. It's a slippery slope though, I started out wanting pss9s then KW v3s, but now instead I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting 2 months for my ohlins.
