It's designed to work with KW v3 suspension, but you can buy the HLS system separate. Custom spec'd set of KW v3 coilvers with the HLS runs around $6000. Just the HLS system alone is around $3k. The price is high, but the performance is incredible. The main thing I like is high speed stability...it soaks up every bump so effortlessly at speeds of 150mph+ . Many of the European exotic cars run KW coilovers from the factory. Both the compression and rebound are independently adjustable. Many of the race cars run these suspensions and are winning races. It's great performance for the money considering Ohlins and Moton charge around $10k+ just for coilovers.

i think KW's are simply amazing coils, i got to ride in a porsche GT3 that had them, it handle like a champ, and absorbed the shotty freeway like no other. but to spend 3k to lift the front end 45mm is not worth it to me personally, ill just keep saving for a cup kit, or bags. i could justify 1200-1500 for them. but dayyuuummm
I want my hybrid setup lol i had cups and coilovers it was nice but since i got into an accident i figure i go with some new stuff. ALso, my stuff is forsale anyone who wants it look on VSC And i am willing to part.

I helped install Ksport bags on my friends car and we managed to kill it in about 8 hours... Also the newer design is all sleeve so that the fronts do not rub at all. My setup is the double bellow or watever from the previous design so mine has a sport feel to it vs his being more luxury. Not sure if u can pick between the 2 but yea just a heads up.

As Bonafyd mentioned most true VIP style cars in Japan are rolling on coilovers, even the ones slammed on the ground. Bags are mostly popular in the US. Personally I like coilovers because you can drive slammed everywhere. Where as bags most people looks like 4x4 when up and only slammed when parked. For comfort I will give the edge to coilovers as well. When bags are fully inflated they are hard as hell. I would personally like to run on a cup suspension. You get the performance and handling of coilovers and can raise it enough to get in driveways and speed bumps.
