ST Coilovers are essentially the same as KW V1 Coilovers. The only difference being that the ST Coilovers are galvanized steel vs stainless steel and comes with a lifetime warranty if purchased from an authorized dealer such as ourselves

I've had ST's for close to 2 years with 19" M6 wheels and have no complaints. The feel has been similar to stock suspensions, but I use mostly as a daily driver.

Well he lives in texas (no worries with salt on the road there), so ST's - it's like getting a KW. So to me it's obvious choice the ST's pricepoint and performance

Just purchased a used ST coilover from a member. I will PM you about my impression as soon as i have them installed this week. I honestly think you should take a ride cars that have both setup and decide from there.
UPDATE: Just had the ST coilovers installed. And let me tell you, I was very surprised at how nice and compliant the ride was. From my experiences with coilovers, they rode very stiff, and were bone jarring. But this coilover was the exact opposite. The ride was very nice, not stiff, and most importantly, non bone jarring. It was so comfortable driving on freeway that I even forgot i was riding on coilovers.....lol. I would highly recommend ST to anyone who are in the market for coilovers.
