Oh, well in that case: They're Suspension Techniques made by KW. They're basically a KW Variant 1 coilover with non-stainless (galvanized) shock bodies, hence why they can get away with a solid price drop (that and the 5-year warranty instead of the limited-lifetime warranty). If you don't live in the rust belt or anywhere where salt seems to be an issue, these are a perfect, well-tuned setup for the price... Honestly, the best deal you can get for under 1k.

ST's are huge in the VW/Audi crowd... I had a set on my last VW (R32) for a while through the snow and I had no issues with rust. Yet again, I cleaned my car often as it was my DD.

Downside is they're a KW V1, if you're looking to go lower than a 2in. drop, you may want to look into the other setups.

No worries. :)

Lol Megan/BC/Stance are all the same coilover from the same Taiwanese plant. I mean if you are just going for a scrape job, you'll be fine with anything your hardparked heart desires.

I don't know about Stance/Megan...

But I know for sure that BC's are built down the road from where I live. The parts may come from that Taiwanese plant, but they're put together here... But I guess it's the same. Don't forget Ksports on that list.

Lol Ksport is basically a Rota performance. Stealing R&D and selling it under their stamp.

TeamZleep 12-25-2013 10:39 PM

Agreed.

buy my bc coils lol

I had both the Type I and II on several Honda cars. The type I didn't last while the type II I had no issues with. As for DD, they're a bit bouncy even when set at the "softest." Personally, I'd choose the ST over these.

How much for bc coils

So has anyone had any experience with the ff type 2??? I know everyone says tein has stepped up with the flex z, and ST coilovers are best bang for your buck... But I've seen these the ff type 2s selling for as low as 765. Opinions anybody??
