Does this come with external reservoirs?

I know Kw's have no body adjustment...what are the pros and cons of this compared to something like tein flex's?

+1

I've heard that the car is designed to work well with a 20-30mm drop but this looks lower, so I'm curious about the ride & handling effects.

On the upside, car looks great at tha Hecht - even on 17s.

Just curious whether this setup is trading function for looks.

very curious about this as well. I want to do some 'looks' mods to my BRZ but only if it also increases performance.

I wouldn't lower anything past the point where the front control arms are parallel to the ground. You'll start to encounter things like bumpsteer issues and the suspension just won't work as effectively. KW is a much better coilover than all of the cheaper brands like BC, Fortune, Stance, etc. etc. but only if you set it up the right way.

Looks like they made a short vid of the install, pretty cool

We'll be installing KW's on ours either this week or next. I can let you know the difference if nobody does.
