KW vs Renntech vs weistec springs

Most here seem to prefer KW. Is there a known difference between these and the weistec or renntech setups?

I'd stay away from anything Weistec to be honest. I'm currently running KW on my car and they're amazing. I paid $1100 installed.

Why is that? I'm running Weistec coil-over sleeves and I'm really satisfied with the build quality and riding dynamics.

Well... once Steve (founder) left early last year, they aren't what they used to be. Although I'm currently a Weistec product on my car (downpipes), I wouldn't give them any future business. Mainly because of how deceptive they are, and the way they quote their prices depending on who you are. They quoted me $2699 for the downpipes, then $2,000, then I had someone call in front of me, and they quoted him $1699... I ended up getting them at $1,699.

Also, a couple of weeks back, I actually received a PM from them under Steve's old MBWorld account bashing a competitor and offering me tips on how to flame them in public. Scummy.

Renntech and KW are both reputable companies offering a solid product. That's why I went with KW. When an issue arises, I like to be taken care of... but that's just me.

2018 E63S,
Just ordered a set of renntech springs today. KW was out of stock and the price difference wasn't huge.

I could have sourced Renntech for you as well if you asked. Congrats on your purchase. Hope you enjoy them.

That was for the C63S. I don't have a GT lol. I bought them from Golan... I'm sure he'll hook you up with pricing.
