how are these compare to H&R + Koni yellow combo? Sorry for being lazy but is there significant difference between KW1 & KW2 ?

LOLrance · 03-14-2010, 05:01 AM

I cant speak for the h&r + koni as i've never tried it, but i'd hands down always go with a full coilover setup then a spring and shock combo. The major difference to note with the v1's vs spring+shock is the ability to adjust height to your specific liking instead of having to settle with however much the spring lowers the car.

V1's are only height adjustable. Compression and rebound are preset from KW. They ride VERY well and the car just feels tighter overall. V2's are height and rebound adjustable. You can change the damping to suit your driving. I honestly believe most people wouldnt need anything more then V1's, but because V2's are more of the "norm", everyone ends up splurging for them.

Yup. And they are in great condition. No leaks or squeeks from the shocks. If anything, they are just a bit dirty.

The coilovers have been sitting at the shop ever since it was taken off the car. I'll try to stop by and snap a few photos of it.

Still doing some 'homework' on the V1's, but I'm interested.
Waiting for the pics.

You're not too far from me.

You wouldn't happen to install too would you?

Yea i had v3's but i sold those too when i parted out my car. Im actually selling these for a good friend of mine. Didnt pick up the evo yet, but i've been itching to track so i just picked up a set of TCKline DA race coilovers to hold me over. Buttonwillow next month, you interested?

I know you want to!

Managed to snap a really quick phone pic. The coils are a bit dirty, but nothing some TLC cant take care of! Everythings in great shape, no bent tabs or cracked dust covers (2 of the most common issues).
