Default Coilovers...

So basically, I've saved enough funds for these sets of coil overs. My S is basically my DD and I'm looking for comfort and some spirit driving. I'm not looking forward to any tracks anytime soon. I've done some researches on the v3s but at the same time I've done very little researches on PSS9 & N+. I've read a lot of review that the PSS9 are one of the most comfortable coil overs out there that I don't have to spend more then 1500+ to get. But that the same time what is stopping is, why save that 200 buck when I could get something A LOT better with that 200. I've also seen a lot of owners selling their v3 for some reasons which is why I'm iffy about buying it... Is it because it cost another 1 grand just to rebuild it or is it not as comfortable as it should be. Please let me know!

ALSO I'm running out of patience for the Rio Hood and Rio Trunk...I really wanna go back looking stock!!! Please keep an eye out for me you guys!!!!

KWV3 FTMFW!!! Didn't I tell u that for the longest time???
I can't afford those... I still love my T1R B-MAX 52, pretty comfy and sporty

I heard Bilstein PSS9's are close to stock suspension but just a bit more stiff, that's about it. I never rode in one but I did ride on KW V3, I fell in love My T1R are pretty similar to KW V3's but I would have to say I feel like the V3's are a little better(comfy).

Bilstein PSS9's are a great out of the box application.

I've got konis with ground controls sleeves and tophat. Spring rates are 550lbs all around and shocks are on always on full stiff. I love em! Gotten plenty of complements on how nice they ride and well they handle. AND you cant beat that lifetime warranty

I drive 100 miles round trip for work and do occasional drives, about to auto x as well

i'll give you a ride if youre some what interested

If you get the KW - learn how to use them properly for your application. Once you understand how to adjust the rebound/compression to your car & driving + setting up the proper ride height; I think you will be very happy with the range of adjustability available out of the box.

Not to mention KW is based out of SoCal & you can easily get support or repairs from them.
