You can use your stock top hats with KW's and many other coilovers.

RS*R i-Sport. Pretty much plug and play if you're a coilover newbie, and the ride is more forgiving relative to the many performance oriented setups here.

But, it depends on your application. Will you see the track much?

Why no one recommend Tein Street flex coilovers, I believe they are the best option.

Get some swift spec R springs. They lowered me to about 2 fingers

Thanks for all the replies! this community is amazing

I'm considering KW v1 and Tein Street

The KW v3 are too advanced for me and I don't think I will utilize all the adjust ability features.

ST would be great (same as KW v1 but made out of different material) unfortunately i'm in Canada and the roads are salted here

I won't be tracking the car.. I might go to the track once this season but only for some fun legal cruising, not to set any killer lap times.

Will the KW v1 still allow me to adjust camber? Will I need LCAs?

Also has anyone with either of the aforementioned coilovers run 9.5 wheels squared?

I appreciate both of these point but my view is that while a person might not drive fast on the road your suspension is working all of the time regardless of what speed you are doing. My 2 cents says that you should install the best suspension you can afford.

With all KW and RCE coilovers the front lower mount is slotted so you can get a good amount of camber without plates.

With all coilovers, you'll need rear lower control arms to adjust camber.
