Greddy provided a replacement set of springs today.

So apparently the kit I have with me will be sold with two sets of springs. Interesting, but very nice of them to do this...

This kit is substantially more expensive so it's not really fair to compare them. It should walk all over the Flex Z's as this kit is effectively custom spec'd V2's with front tophats. (Very nice ones, at that.)

The direct competitor to the Flex Z is the ST coilover. The Flex Z is a better value for money, but I think in terms of what's better is subjective, as the ST's don't come with tophats, and depending on your use case one or the other may work out better.

Anybody have updates on this coilover? How do these compare to ST XTA and V2 KW's?

Does anyone have anymore experience with these? I've been looking for reviews everywhere and on other platforms but I'm coming up blank. Are they the best coilovers you can get at this price?

These are still quite new, but the spec's does show that its similar to V2.

I would wait a little for reviews as some people have gotten this but usually needs about 3-5K miles before things get dialed in. CSG prob is gonna get on this as soon as spring rolls around for the major tracks.

Had them on for a week now and really like the feel. Won't track them until later in July.

Find it interesting that for a Greddy/KW product it says Mopar on the springs. Figured they would only let that go out the door for FCA.

Long Term

Anyone with a long term review on these?

Considering picking up a set in the off-season to replace my current coil-overs.

Probably because they have these and the ST XTA, so they don't want to have too many versions of the same thing out there competing with each other.

There are already all of these:

KW V1
RCE T0
ST X
Greddy x kw
ST XTA
KW V3
RCE T2
KW Clubsport
KW 3 way
RCE 3 way?
