If you're hard parking or just street driving...either one is overkill Get the cheaper ones.

The monoflex has better slamming capability if that matters.

The Tein kit is more conservaitve as far as handling goes. It's tuned slightly for understeer.

I think the KW ride quality is going to be better. I have V3s on my car right now. I've had Teins on a different car....so can't really directly compare. I know that my car rides very very well. Everyone always comments on how freaking good it rides/handles.

If you're going to track the car, I think the KWs will last longer under harsh use. Tein's build quality isn't quite as good. Not to say that it's bad.

If you're just street driving this car, you could save some money and do KW V1s or V2s....or if you want to run the car REAL low, do the regular Tein Flexes.

I got the V3s because of the insane deal I was getting on them and because I track my car often. I also got them almost a year before EEEEVVERRYYONE had to have them lol.


You have to be more specific about questions like this, btw. People need to know what you're going to use the car for and how low you want it etc. etc. etc.
