KW V3's are good, but for a set it and forget it DD option there are better choices IMO. Eibach R1 comes to mind, Bilstein PSS9 or PSS10 if/when they release them....

Stay away from Megan and lower end BR coils. They are garbage. Save some coin and get some KW's

Just had a set of BC Racing Coilovers, and they are good street coilovers.

Switched to a set of Endura-Tech Coilovers, which are amazing. They are set up for more for track use, but good for a DD car also. You can buy straight from their website, or you can also get a set from AMS.

I know AST has amazing coilovers, but the price is kinda steep.

KW's are the fav's for most ppl, but i wanted to go a different route, and im pleased.

Before we tell you anything, you've got to tell us what you want. Tell us what will "suit you better." Tell us what you don't like about the stock suspension. Can you even outdrive the stock suspension? Tell us what your motivations are for wanting to invest in coilovers. Without that information, guess what you'll get...everyone's personal opinion...and usually telling you to get the same coilovers they bought.

If you TRULY want help, you'll help us help you.

+1 for AMR Engineering, just talk to Andy if you have any questions he will provide valuable info regarding your need.

AMR coilovers are built with appropriate spring rate for your specific usage where you'll still maintain good comfort for DD while taking advantage of the better handling characteristics they will provide .

You can also change the springs for a set with higher spring rate later if you decide to track the car. All in all AMR make for very versatile set up for street/track without breaking the bank and you don't have to worry about the coils to fall apart after 1k miles.
