We are working with KW on our custom valved and custom sprung RCE Tarmac 2 coilovers for this chassis. They're based on KW V3s but a little more track oriented (though still very streetable). The 2008 SCCA STU National championship car was running our RCE T2s for Impreza, so it's a capable system we're eager to build for the BRZ/FRS. It's not a quick process that we're rushing through, but the extra time to get valving and spring rates down is something we are happy to do.
Standard KWs are very, very good, which is why we chose them as a starting point for our customized sets. Working with KW to turn things up a notch for our more hardcore customers just gets us something a little more capable on the track with our T2s. We also generally offer a softer version that's a little more street friendly.
By no means do we insist that they are the "best" for all users and that is why we continue to offer other great options like AST, Ohlins, Bilstein, JRZ, etc. We like to try things out before we sell them so we can best match people with a system that's right for them. That means that we aren't really offering coilovers just yet, but fairly soon we'll have a wide variety that we have hands on experience with.
Cusco make fine quality coilovers that we used to offer early on in our history, but we've moved in a different direction for a variety of reasons.
