Default A few updated pics with the KWs on.

First off I love how the car feels with the KW V3s. The ride quality is amazing compared to stock. Now I can actually put my wheels on, not something I wanted to do at stock height. These are just updated phone pics.

Since you have bc coils on your SC, can you make a comparison between the two?

Car looks great lowered.

Thanks guys. As far as the BCs vs the KWs. The BCs are fine for the SC. However I don't think I would be satisfied with them on the IS-F. I think the F really deserves the KWs. I have had a bunch of different coilovers in the past. And these KWs are by far the best. I think you would notice night and day difference from the BCs. These KWs are very good quality.

The ride height is about an inch lower in the rear and close to 2 inches lower in the front. There is no fender gap.
