Shortly: Does anyone have any experiences on KW Street Comfort coilover set?


The name sounds like a coilover set for me, but does anyone have it?
The price would be approx. 1200? without install.

It's probably better than my H&R coilover

Ok. Have you had some issues with your coilover set?

The main reason for me aiming to this KW coilover set is it's ability to lower only 2cm when minimum with Eibachs is 3cm.

Anyone else? Can you tell me about the cons with coilover sets generally (compared to for example Eibach Pro-kit + Koni FSD)?

Haven't tried to the Street Comfort series, but I have the V2's and I love them. Slammed but still very close to stock sport suspension comfort.

Come on people, tell me about your coilover sets. Pros and cons.

I'm very close to get this set, but would like to hear some opinions!
