wow alot more verity than I thought. Even a set of top secrets.
Jzz30 16k front and rear sounds bone crushing and brain rattling.

Ohlins actually didn't feel that stiff.felt very compliant to the road.
Integraxtr did you have the xs zeals? Or the x?
if i go with zeals I was thinking of maybe going function x.

but right now I was thinking about going with the comp + from challenge (gt motoring)

The SRC's are very harsh and can make the skinniest person feel obese lol but it handles turns really well, and I tell myself that outweighs the fact that it's terrible to drive around town in

KWv3. Have 2 auto-x events on them so far and I like them a lot. To me, the ride is similar to stock. My friend who rode in a s2000 with PSS9s said the KWs felt more comfortable. The spring rates on my KWs are about 10k front and rear.
He speaks the truth.

everyone seems to speak nothing but good things about the kw v3.
especially the guys in the racing and competition forums.


asked tommy from gotuning about the zeals,
and actually said the function Ts would be a better choice of the two.
and is a newer design.

what other coilovers are the autoX guys running?

i bought the function t's because of tommy a bit expensive for those on a budget.

i know justin c is running kwv3s for auto-x and he loves them. i'm sure he'll chime in.
60k until a rebuild is needed. their shop is in the middle of cali (by fresno). shipping should be ok.
just have to re-use your oem top hats.

Wow, you guys are running some aggressive setups.

The top S2k auto-x'rs are either on stock suspension or Koni/GCs with lower spring rates.

Bc's, 10k F/R, 14clicks from soft F & 11 from soft R. Lowered about 2-1/4" F & 2-1/2" R, tires are Dunlop S-spec, 225/40(42psi) F & Falken Azeni RT615, 255/35(40psi) R. I love them! Worth the price. Also very quiet, can be a little unforgiving on really bad roads, but you get used to it. Never tracked them, but drive spirited often, have no complaints & recommend them
