Surprise no-one mentioned JRZs/Motons/Penske. I would suggest picking your flavor of spring rates and having some valved to match. Price is no object right?

I thought quite a few guys were running JRZ's. Have they moved on to something else?

We are still running them. JRZ/Moton/Penske not mentioned because these are in a different price category than what is being discussed.

I have decided to buy KW v3 based on this thread.

It is more $ than megan, Ksport, etc but proven performance and reputation matters.

Thanks.

I'm looking around at Coilovers at the moment.

Looking objectively at it, US people (due to better road surfaces) tend to go with stiffer shocks and not so stiff ARB's. If the road quality is good, stiff springs aren't so bad.

The PSS9's aren't that stiff, and appear to work pretty well as a road setup with stiff ARB's, keeping a reasonable ride quality.

But this is received wisdom.

Ironically the KW V3's are cheaper than the PSS9's in the UK.

keep saving. i regret buying mine. they're not much better than stock for street and inadequate for track, especially with r-comp tires.

Are the flex any good at all on the road? Compared to stock AP1 are they an improvement?

I checked KWs website, for the V3 it says it fits 00+(AP1), so would they fit AP2 or not ?
