you sent me a quote for your coilovers for over $2000, if thats what you are trying to tell me, i am not interested. i can add a a couple hundred $ and get a KW v3's.
but if you have something else in mind, just post here. no need to PM.
I dont mind spending money on good parts, i had KW V3s on my s2000 last year. But this car is not worth of getting $2500 coilovers. If i was planning on spending that much on coils i would have bought a different car.

and you said $1950 plus tax but free shipping. With 9% tax that came out to $2125 for CKS coilovers. First price i found for the KW V3s were $2400. Never heard of CKS coilovers and i had KW V3s before and they were pretty AWESOME, but i just can't get myself to spend that kind of money on this car on just one part.

I have ST and I am satisfied with them. I got my ST's for about a grand. I had KW V2's on another car they were sweet as well. As far as the bounce is concerned, it is subjective. Good luck selecting your coils.

You could just hit up the classified section to see if someone is parting out. There are some good deals there usually.

How is the ST compared to stock sport are they stiffer?
I do not want spand money for something that makes the car ride worse and will regret it.
Are you really happy with them and how long do you have it. Any issues?
Thanks
