I was referring to the Greddy’s hence the thread title.

I was wondering if it was you they were talking about! There was one set getting rebuilt on the table and then Rafi was assembling mine on the spot as the install took place.

Are the Greddy/KW coils still a top choice for the ISF in 2020? Been doing some research today and I see these thrown out there a lot along with BCRacing/RR/KW v3

I daily my car and it hasn't seen the track yet so that would be my focus. I honestly would be open to BC + swift or Greddy since they're about the same price, but just have no idea what would be better for me

contact mike at figs engineering and he will get you the right set up.

with the kw's v3 the car rides smooth and soft but during high speed car doesn't seem planted to the ground, with the rr racing afco road&track coilovers they are great on smooth roads but suck at the street level, they are track coilovers. after trying a few set ups i am happy with my bc's er series, out of the box the work amazing at absorbing bumps without noise and car handles great.

I have the Greddy/KW's on my 14 and they are excellent on the street. I recommend them.

How do they ride in comparison to the 14 suspension?

If I had to do my suspension today for this car, I'd go with Fig's Ohlins.
I've had KW V3s for about 3 years now, no issues.

They run a little stiffer, but not by much. My stock 09 IS F suspension was stiffer and bumpier.

Are you on 16/12?

Edit: Looks like they come 15/10. Still torn between these and BCs
