Well it really depends on how you look at it quoted from the magazine the KW CS did 2:05.501 AP2 214hp/153lb-ft MOD include J's Intake(worthless) J's Fender Brace(worthless/extra weight), J's Frt Toe Rod(worthless), J's Rear Toe Rod(worthless), Robi Spec 30mm solid sway bar. but in a surprise the Tein Car (AP1) 204hp/136lb-ft equip with only the Monoflex (Street Kit) but with abit more mod only 1/2 sec slower (2:06.079) plus keep it mind the monoflex only cost 1/2 of the KW CS kit.

I'm already afraid of this article. I wonder if every car was corner balanced, aligned and tuned, as probably 95% of the people who buy coilovers don't do all that. Secondly, lap times on cars that aren't equal, are pretty much pointless. Subjective evaluations from a single, knowledgeable driver are probably the way to go for a comparison like this.
