scorpio74: thanks for the kind words!


silkyis: Believe it or not, the KWV3 actually improves the ride x2 - this is how the IS-F should have come from the factory! Even with my slammed lowerd stance and fat tires, this car does not bottom out, rub, or bounce around. The car feels solid and planted around corners. The faster you drive the car, the more stable it gets and begs to be pushed more. I have yet to push the car/tires past it's limit since I'm going to have to do that on a track as the limit is pretty darn high.

Compared to the e92 m3 oem suspension - this is slightly more firm but never bone jaring or annoying. We packed a lot of gear + 3 passengers total for a 1800 mile road trip and it never got uncomfortable. Once we hit the mountain roads near Oregon few cars could stay with us as we just pulled away with each turn

Thanks, I'm very happy with the set-up, not to mention the improvement in handling.

For the people with Tein Springs, how's the scrubbing? Does the front bumper hit when going over bumps? What about camber issues?

Tein CS coilovers /w edfc. I thought about dropping it lower as I still have about 3/4-1" of thread left on each corner. Haven't decided yet.
