Coilover guys, getting ready to buy a set for my 2006. See the main choiced are D2, KSport and of course KW's. Is the price justified for the KW's???
Leaning towards the KSports. Had them on my TSX and loved them.
Any feedback from someone with them on a E55? Not planning on tracking the car but live on some nice curvy roads and 20mins from the Dragon.
Thanks for any help.

One more question. In pictures D@ and KSprts look like a true rear coilover with spring on strut while KW is spring with seperate shock. Do you still run E350 rear control arms with KSports?

How about RC racing ?

I have a set of BC. I have not installed them yet but are high quality and you can upgrade them later through BC if you chose to.

I hate bc for making the rear difficult to adjust height without disassembling.

If you want to maintain proper preload that is the only way to adjust modifies McPherson coils

Or are you saying your adjuster is on the bottom of the print in the spring are?

MJ .. hows the ride and ride height on KW compared to STAR lowered?

MJ50

initially, i set to full stiff setting... it was way too bouncy...
i changed to full soft setting and like it...
height adjustment is perfect for me... SDS lowered fronts way too much...

How much lower can you go from where it sits now? Don't wanna slam mine but rear needs to go down more to even out. It's star lowered now.

MJ50

yea, with SDS, my fronts were lower than rears...
with coilovers, i have 2 finger gaps in the front and 1 finger gap in the rear...
could go lower but it's how i wanted it...

Bilstein or KW should really be your only option IMHO...Ohlins if you really think you need the ultimate...The lower end stuff is not properly valved and is not made well, but they will allow you to "drop" your car if that is what you are after.

The adjuster collars are placed on the top which accessing it with the spanner wrench makes it nearly to impossible.
