first let me say i have searched quite a bit. the problem is more of an information overload and i havent been able to really find an answer.

the title really says it all. i was thinking about getting xi bilstein sport shocks on h&r sports, but was wondering if its worth the extra couple hundred for kw v1s. my car is a daily driver and on RFT so comfort is an issue. I dont mind a bit more stiffness if the performance will be insane, but if v1s are considerably more uncomfortable than the shocks/springs i'll just get the shocks/springs. I dont ever really track my car and will be driving it in new england winters


thanks in advance

Shouldn't this be in the xi section not tri state?

[sandman0615]

shite i thought i was in the general section whoops. well not gona repost. at least people in tri state understand the winter situation

IMO As a daily driver you don't need coil overs. I am on Bilstein B8 Sports struts and HnR sports and the ride is great and looks great.

+1 I couldn't decide between this combination a couple of months ago, and I'm happy with this dd setup

How much did this configuration cost you?

[D335NUTZ]

$150 for a used set of springs. $600 or the Bilsteins. There was a winter sale at turner motor sports when I bought them.

im with wilson i have eibach pro kit great ride quality not much improvement in handling but looks awsome

thanks for the input - i decided to go bilsteins/h&r sports. bilsteins literally JUST came in the mail today, springs are coming tomorrow.
is this diy-able realistically? i understand i'll need an alignment after anyways. and if not what should i expect from a shop for installation?

i bought h&r sports and koni yellows ride is very good to me

I went with B&G springs with Koni Yellow Sports. Bilstein and H&R are a bit harsh to me. I paid around $300 cash at a shop for installation of shocks and springs. Alignment cost me $100.
