Hey all sorry to bring back an old topic but after reading old posts for the past few days I still can't find a clear cut answer.

I am going to be getting coilovers soon.. either pss9 or kw v3. My main concerns are is the v3 a good DD? some people have said it can be a lil rough for dd but then others said with certain settings it can ride like stock. I haven't been able to get a clear cut answer.

Also the only concern i have with the stock suspension is that floaty feeling. Would the pss9 with it's softer spring rates compared to the v3 still tame the floatiness? If so i might just be happy with the pss9.

I had a RSX type s before my s2000 and i had buddy club coilovers and hated how rough the ride was.

Please pss9 and kw v3 owners help me out!!

Thanks

 

doing any track events?? the kw's are very adjustable so u can customize to what ever firmness/softness u want.

 

A new track opened up not to far away from me. I got a friend who's a track whore so i might start going with him.

 

my pss9 are on 6f, 6r, i am lowered to the lowest recommended height from bilstein.

they are *not* floaty.

 

thanks turbosix.... anymore input guys??

 

I wouldn't mind getting the v3 i just don't want to feel every crack and bump in the road when I'm driving around town.

 

I jsut installed some v3's and i think they still have a good comfy ride in my opinion compared to OEM..

Also the handling improved very, VERY well...

Best mod i did so far..

 

anymore input guys?

 

It really depends on how dedicated you'll be to tracking your car. The KWs are far better for the track IMO. I have PSS9s set to 6 in the front and 8 in the rear (1 being the stiffest and 9 being the softest) and I wouldn't call them floaty at all.

What were the spring rates on your buddy clubs? That might give us an idea of what you consider to be a rough ride.

 

the KW's have a VERY WIDE range of adjustability. you can make it rattle your brain out, or have it pretty soft. i only have mine set about 1 click higher than the recommended settings and it is pretty stiff. the kw's are also compression/rebound adjustable separate from each other which is a plus. i cant really comment on the other as i have not had them before, but from previous readings it is known to be that they are softer than the kw's
