Default Suspension option

Any options on these coilover guy? KW v2, Bilstein b14, Cusco street zero A. Any one have experience with them? Are they good on both street and track? Mainly for some mountain pass and few track days ? Budge around 2 to 3K
Thanks first time being here

I've got Bilstens B14 fitted and I really like them, stock like feel but with a firmer complaint ride. Still very comfortable if that is what your aim is, though track use I am not so sure about as these as in my opinion are more for fast road.

Ohlins would be my vote in that price range.

I have them and it is the 3rd suspension I have had on the car and the one I wish I had just saved for from the get go. Ride quality is the best I have experienced while still being planted. Didn't realize you in Australia so yeah that changes things. My concern with the KW's would be access to having them serviced. Every person I have known with KW's have had to have them rebuilt at some point unless they never drove the car or something. No experience with the cusco stuff. Lots of good reviews for the Bilsteins as they seem to be very street focused. Sort of an OEM+ upgrade from what I have read from people.

I saved up for the Ohlins. I love them. Served me very well in some canyon carving.

I have the Cusco's and I love them. Have nothing to compare them against though except for OEM.
