Picked Up A Set of KW V3s - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Should only take 4-5 hours if you're doing it yourself. Although the first time I swapped out coilovers, it took me like 8 hours, but I was going really slow and it was on my WRX where I had to take out the rear seats.

Just remember to jack up the entire front end or rear end so that you're not loading the sway bar. I find it easier to jack up one end, remove the stock coils, then install the new ones.

Yea, It only took about 5 hours for me. But we adjusted the ride height about 6 times to get it perfect =)

But to rebuild the shocks etc cost a small amount each one.

I can't believe you got these cheaper than the fortune's talk about the deal of a lifetime.

Would love to hear the feedback. I'm running them on my M3 and plan to follow when I pick up a BRZ shortly.

Just finished installing! took me a bit longer than expected but man was it worth it. Love the smaller wheel gap and cant wait to throw some te 37s on there!

as for feedback so far from a quick little spin, the car feels goooood, corners and turns feel solid and definitely makes me more confident. Took a turn really fast and tail came out just a little but easily correctable, on stock suspension I probably would have spun out. Feel wise, seems much smoother and less bumpy than stock but maybe thats cause im too in love?

Will keep you guys updated!
