First shoot with the new KW Variant 3's and of course a new set of wheels again - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

WheelDude.com · 10-18-2012, 02:18 PM

Just got our KW V3's installed and had to do a new shoot...but of course we decided to mount a new set of wheels on the car along with it (18x8.5 +44 F / 18x9.5 +44 R Rota DPT)

Also our first official shoot with the new painted taillights (from RJ's paint shop in Pleasanton, CA) and our new Stivo trunk spoiler.

It feels like a whole new car with the new suspension.

The taillights are probably my favorite thing i've done as far as looks, night and day difference, the spoiler is a pretty nice touch too in my opinion.

What do you guys think?

That's a normal price for a set of quality coil-overs. The street price is more like $2k, FYI.

My impressions? You sure do like Rotas... lol. Looks fresh!

Yeah that I know but just pointing out that

$2k+ to make your whip lower is a lot.. should have gotten bigger tips

I've had 5 sets of coilovers on various different cars and it's just not the same

The ride quality and the handling that comes from the V3 is pretty much unmatched (compared to other ones i've tried)

I've tried HKS Hipermax, Megan, BC, Tein, and bilstein's.

Out of all those, I definitely like the KW V3's the most...I had them on my 335i for the full 4 years I owned it and everyone who rode in it said that it feels just like stock

Everyone who drove it said it handles amazing.

I definitely agree with them, at least of the ones i've tried they are the best.

Wow I frickin love this look, especially since my BRZ is gonna be white. Love the low key spoiler and the painted tail lights. I'll have to check out that paint shop (since I'm right by Pleasanton) once I get my car.

I don't like that the wheels are CE28N forgeries, but that fitment is just about perfect .. possibly the best fitting set of wheels I've seen thus far on this forum.

They just look like they need more rubber. I know it's a fashion thing, but why cop the weight penalty of wide wheels if you are still going to fit skinny tyres?
