Very good question!

We have been racing and dealing with evo suspension for some time now. I personally have real experience with all 3 coilovers that you mentioned. I know the pros and cons of each and feel that I can offer you pretty good insight.

In regards to the HKS coilovers. They are too soft for any real track use. I would not recommend them for your intended usage.

Of the three coilovers you listed our suspension behaves and rides more like the Tein Mono Flex's. Problem is that they have the wrong spring rates on them for any real motorsports use. You would have to compensate in other areas by running a bigger rear sway bar and running more front camber etc. This is where our coilovers really shine. Our coilovers also have one of the largest pistons in the industry (50mm Inner Piston "58mm piston body")

This allows for greater reliability (runs cooler), damping and ride comfort.

Now on to the KW V.3's. They are simply awesome coilovers. Honestly it is not fair to compare them to our 500 series as they are external reservoir and double adjustable. The only downside of the KW is the lack of ride height adjustment/ independent of preload and the rates and valving are not aggressive enough out of the box for your intended use. This coilover is more on the level of our Titan Double Adjustable coilovers.

FYI our Titan coilovers will be available in the next 2 weeks for the Evo X

 

They look good. I plan on purchasing this soon!

 

What kind of specs would you recommend for 70% Daily/30% Track (This is my daily driver and I would take it to the track occasionally like 2-3 times a year but maybe on a weekly basis drive it hard on some roads. I don't mind rough rides but I want something I can take on 5 hour trips as well). I'd be running performance tires such as NT-05s, RS-3, and R1R in either 265 or 275. No rear sway bar but I might pick one up soon.

 

Awesome please let me know if you have any questions!

I am pm-ng you know

 

Thanx you got a PM

 

Pm-ed ya back

 

Really interested in picking up a set of coilovers from you guys. I have a few questions in terms of what you think best fits my overall needs. I DD My 2008 EVO X MR and if you were to ask me what type of driver/driving I am/do I would say more 80% DD Traffic everyday driving and 20% Spirited mountain driving (maybe see the track twice a year HPDE 1&2). Noticed the 510's and thought they may fit my needs, but would love a bit more insight or if you would recommend something completely different from your line up of coilovers. Noise is a big concern as well durability. Also would like to know what spring rates you would recommend for what I've described above. From my understanding the EVO X really like a bit stiffer of a spring rate in the rear in comparison to the front (and to previous models 8-9's).

Thanks!

 

for the price, I will get some sooner or later!

 

I am also interested in the same answer for my MR!

 

I just Pm-ed you

You have a PM

 

could i get a pm of the same nature as well?

thanks,
charlie

 

Are these made/produced in the USA? Or are the parts outsourced from other countries?

 

Pm-ng
Parts are made in Taiwan
However we revalve, rebuild and support the coilovers here in the USA

 

Would like to pick up a set of the 500 series with 9k/10k springs, valved for track. Do these come with camber plates as well? Unless the Titan's are now available? LMK!

Noticed you can not buy them directly from your sight. Would love to know/PM'd the Best price on both the 500's and the Titans Shipped to 95121.

Thanks!

 

You can buy them directly from Import Image
There info can be found in my signature

I also pm-ed you
