anyone compare these to KW v3s?

I bet if you get the helper spring option you'll be no more than 1/2" lower than stock.

Helper springs are not needed in this application due to how little room there is in the rear. :happy0180:

We can help you pick those out depending on your use. Everyone will be different.

i was thinking a 8k 8k setup just to keep that near factory oversteer.i went from a 9k 5k on my civic to a 9.5k 9.5k and the grip way more stable and predictable on the track even for a nose heavy car.

I know they're not needed, but if someone want to get as little drop as possible then the helper springs would raise up it up a bit with the perches all the way up.

You have double wishbone in the rear now. Do the math.. your setup will suck.

7/9 would be decent

8/6 = street rates. decent enough I guess (on an S13)

I had those on my S14 for a very short time, they beat the crap out of me.

I was thinking 6/7 on this car

Because of the balance of the car .. and because of the double-wishbone rear .. if you consider both factors then you're better off having a little more variance than that.

figure out what you'll use it for and go from there. there's a lot of very knowledgeable vendors on here that could help you choose.

I'm still learning this car myself :)

Grip Ronin 11-16-2012 08:41 PM

yea ill definitely confirm it with speedfactory before i order it. i do mostly grip racing, some drift and a little auto x. Even tho they require 3 different setups mehh. 6/7 probably isn't a bad choice
