the price is $2,759 inc GST. delivered/pick up at your local KW dealer.

also got a quote from Evasive Motorsport from USA (forum vendor) and they want USD$2,400 shipped + potential duty and GST.

if there is enough interest, i might enquire with EVL about possible group buy.

thanks

EDIT: i know KW's price is not cheap but after 2 sets of Tein in my previous cars, i want to try something non Japanese as i had good experience with my friend's S3 with KW V3. KW is a German brand and it is partner with many motorsport teams around the world. It is also a supplier of Greddy FRS Formula Drift team. it's facility includes a 7-post rig which is a special suspension equipment that are used by F1 teams and major car manufacturers. i doubt many aftermarket suspension brands have excess to these kind of state of the art equipment. http://www.kw-suspensions.eu/int/kw_7post_test_dyno.php

Any idea on a rough estimate on how much it is to get these fitted? with the wheels ofcourse

this is a hard question to answer.

depends on where you want your coilovers fitted. normal mechanic or suspension specialist.

fitting coilovers are not hard and normal mechanic can do it, but you will then need to take your car to get alignment done and it's best to have the wheels you want to run fitted for alignment.

if i'm going to get KW V3 i will get the local KW dealer to fit them because the V3 has bound and rebound adjustments seperately and might require a bit of tuning. if i go for Tein/Cusco etc then i'll get my mechanic again.

in the past my mechanic fitted coilovers for around $200 - 250 then i will need to get alignment done later for around $100. prices varies between shops so you will need to make some enquiries.

yeah. well my mates ran bc coils in their cars and have tracked em and said they're perfect/fine to run with. and i've personally sat in a car with bc coils and they're good and comfortable. i dont plan on tracking my 86 hence why i settled for something cheaper and maybe not as highly branded like teins or the like. just after a daily cruiser ride. no for me LOL

[Nardi330]

i see you reason.

the issue i have is that the 86 is a good handling car out of the box. although i have no prove, i am not sure if fitting a budget coilover would make the car better or worse. Past experience with other cars might be irrelavant if the coilover is replacing old/worn shocks etc and to a lot of normal cars any coilovers are likely better than stock.

so if i'm going to fit anything i want to make sure it's an improvement over stock or i'd just keep it stock or fit some RCE starter kit and be done with.

I'm interested in these KW V3, trying to do some research on them, Why are they so much better than the tein flex? apart from the apparent price tag. Convince me to spend more money hahaha and possibly get discount for multiple buy

I will track the car on occasion but mostly just a daily driver so is it worth paying the extra if its mostly a DD? As you stated before and I agree I would rather spend the extra if it actually gives me a better ride/handling on the street.

So erm ... in response to the OP yes I may be interested...

[dnjshin0bi]

yeah i understand. im pretty much going for a semi stance look. not racing or anything like that. i guess everyone is going for different purposes
as long as everyone is happy at the end of the day. all that matters

[nix]

That rrp price is ridiculous on the flex. I paid $1350 for a new jza80 set a few years ago and googling now, most suby sets are about $1500.

I haven't done any research but I'm sure there are better options for that price if you look around?
