Which coilovers for me?
 
I want a decent coilover that will go pretty low as I will be getting quite aggressive wheels and it won't look good otherwise.

My car is my daily but i also want to drift it from time to time. Are the KW variant 3's good? Being in the UK, they are readily available.

What would you reccomend?

If all you are doing is lowering the car, just buy springs. But yes, the KW V3's are supposed to be about the best out right now.

I would rather have some quality coilovers as I will most likely be sliding it from time to time. I don't want any chinese ones though.

Budget?

don't mind paying KW v3 price, around 1400 pounds. As long as the item is worth it

And you'll need coilovers for that, why?

Springs will get it done for you--save your quid! :thumbsup:

If you wanna go hella low, BC Racing coilovers, with the extreme drop kit.

At max height it's about 2" lower than stock, and has the ability to lay frame. Check my thread.

what is the lowest KW go?

I assume you mean you do not want any cheap products and not "chinese(sic) ones" since most of the springs are probably manufactured in China

Yes, I'm trying to only use quality parts on my GT86, Japanese mainly but European coilovers seem to be good etc

Bilstein coilovers released, how do these compare to other coilovers in the same price range

I run KW Clubsport on my E90 M3 and love them, but I have to put Stance out there as a viable alternative for the FRS/BRZ. I had them put on yesterday and I was very much impressed right out of the gate. If you haven't yet given them a look, I think it's worth it - especially for the price vs. the KW set.

Nice! I'll see if i can locate usa prices for these. Just doing a straight conversion looks like $1350 or so for the B14 and $2100 for the B16.

Saw an article for eibach control arm which is just reboxed SPC.
