Anybody have coilovers?

I'm just wondering if anybody have coilovers on their r171? I'm talking about coilovers not springs btw. I've heard about coilover kits from KW suspension and also bilstein. It'll be nice if any member has this mod and tell me how they are.

KW makes coilovers for the R171. Actually, there is an authourized KW dealer in Surrey, BC.... HPA Motorsports.

Check into KW. Also check and see if there is an available fitment from Bilstein
(PSS9) and Carlsson (adjustable coilovers).

$2150 for adjustable coilovers isn't too bad, I'll see how much I like my brabus springs first, might consider them in the future.

Ynot, are you installing your wheels first or your springs or both at the same time?

I'm gonna get my wheels first, then I might(prob will) get the Brabus springs. I'm just worried about the rubbing. I'll see how the wheels look with the stock springs first.

DCR wrote me a couple of days ago and said, I should be getting my wheels very soon, I'll probably install the wheels first. The springs will have to wait as I will install it myself, I'm hoping it'll be an easy install, I can't imagine it being that hard just to install springs. I'll be doing a bit of traveling in late Jan and early Feb, so hopefully by mid-Feb I will have both the wheels and springs installed.
