The stock USA CR gets excellent reviews for track work.
I guess these are re-worked Sachs or something.

This is where my money would be going as well, I believe they are far superior to the KW3's but that is also reflected in the price.

Rambo is running the Ohlins DFV in the UK on his turbo'd S isn't he? Perhaps he can do a review? My second choice would be the HKS Hypermax 3, not bought into Nitron, KW3's or the PS9's but I am sure they are all better than the stock setup.

- Ohlins build quality is far better, go and pick them both up it is easy to see, difficult from an internet experience.

- Rambo's car has a MASE turbo

- HKS Hypermax as I have experience with these coilovers on both a WRX and an Evo, they also have very good reviews on the US site and were rated higher than the KW3's again go and look at build quality.

One for you, only my Girlfriends ask 'WHY' as many times as you is it a cultural thing

I have seen ohlins shocks in race car many times and they are top notch. They are always custom-valved and with remote reservoirs like motons. I guess your life experience could not explain the reason that they are far superior.

If it had an AMUSE exhaust matched with an ASM cup holder, that would give even more gravity to your statement.

Mine never do. Maybe you have to check about that with your analyst...

THAT was offensive.

What's wrong with build quality of kw3?

I have kw3. With cusco front rear arb. Muz front brace. custom rear brace. Fully poly bushed. T1r half shaft spacers and wheels in motion setup


It handles really well. I can use the power I have better now since the wheels in motion setup

I have been in rambo's car with the ohlins they are very nice indeed slighty harder ride than the kw

Nothing Phil, but Ohlins are better built in my opinion and therefore my money would be going there.

Good on you mate

As far as life experiences I have no idea what you are on about as far as Rambo's car being Turbo'd. Perhaps that was lost in translation it had nothing to do with his Turbo or for your cup holder for that matter, his is the only car that I know of in the UK with them fitted, so get off your high horse mate you have no idea of my experiences. I am certainly not voicing an opinion about something I have no experience with, you post would tend to agree that Ohlins are excellent build quality and FYI the Ohlins DFV do not come remote reservoirs like motons

As far as you being offended, I feel like I am talking to a girl again
