Another Coilover thread...

He's talking about my setup. Right now i have it about 1.5-2" lowered. And i love it. Koni yellows/GC's are the best budget suspensions you can get IMO. Brand new they will run close to 1000 but you can find low miled used setups for 500-700 with drilled top hats. My spring rates are 340 fr and 380 Rr and it makes the car handle perfectly balanced and predictable with my Front sway. Now the ride quality to me is good but im a little crazy and dont care about ride quality that much lol. I set the dampening to the stiffest setting haha. for those with more sensitive backs u can change the dampening settings to softer on each shock in about 5 minutes.
I will be daily driving on this suspension for at least two years, but afterwards the car will become a weekend/track only car, so I thought maybe PSS9 is a bit TOO soft, and they don't lower aggressively enough it seems.
Looking around, KW V3 seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Not too stiff, great lowering, perfectly valved shocks and high durability - I guess it's worth the price for all that?
Another suspension that interested me, for a little less money perhaps, was the Tein Monoflex - but like the other poster, there seems to be little experience on this board. Can anyone give input into the Tein Monoflex vs KW V3?

You can't go wrong with pss9 or KW V3 for a street driven car. However, if you were to go track, I'd get the kw v3 because it's 3 way adjustable. Also, KW's limited lifetime warranty isn't bad either!
