Cheapest place to get KW V1 and V2 coilovers?

Any of you folks know where is the cheapest place to get them? I have a couple vendors in mind, just want to see if someone here knows of a place that I don't

I saw the threat that Creative made, but it's a group buy, correct? Meaning I would have to wait for others to buy as well, and I cannot pay just for my own set.

^Yep I ended up with Creative because they had it in stock. It was a fast transaction. They PM'd me, saying they have both v1 and v2 in stock. I called and ordered an hour later. According to UPS, it's scheduled for delivery today, I ordered 2 days ago (Monday).
SamBoler...did you install it yourself? If so, how difficult would you rate it? Thanks.

Glad to hear it went well with Creative.

Had it installed locally. Dropped off the car and when I came back, it was done

Creative or most shops that have done quite a few should be able to guide you through it

Where are you located?

What shop did you go to? I'm in the San Fernando Valley, about 15 mins north of L.A.

I'm going to attempt to install the coilover on Saturday with a buddy, but just curious about the shop you went to and the price you paid. Thanks

LOL, it's a far trip! The gas alone will probably the same amount as installation! The package has been delivered, but I won't be able to see it until I get home later tonight

I don't think it should be that hard to install right? We've installed springs and coilovers before on our cars, but this will be the first Euro attempt, lol.

If you've never done a euro before, I highly suggest you take it to a shop. You need tools like a spring compressor to do the fronts, and you need to go through the inside of the trunk to install the rear. If you have tools like that and are really good with cars go for it, otherwise take it to a shop.

I will give it a shot, Evan. Worst comes worst, I put the stock suspension back on and call a shop. We've installed coilovers on our Evos before where we also have to lift up the trunk lining to get to the top strut bolts. We also have a spring compressor for when we only install springs so we can compress it down enough to put the top hat back on. We've done some tough installs such as turbos before so I'm hoping everything goes a-ok with this install

Just got home, and saw the box on my patio. Can't wait to get it on. Only if there's a shop like you guys in the L.A. area

PS...can you guys leave a feedback for me since the transaction is done? I'd do the same for you guys, but I don't know whose screen name to leave it for, lol. So many of you fellas from Creative.
