Have you researched other options? There are some good threads on the topic.

other options as in different coilovers? or did you mean different places to purchase?

I've done my fair bit of research on all coilover systems and have decided from readings that KW's would best fit me, would just have to get some camber plates down the road. I was leaning towards TC Kline's but am wary of the klunking noises people are reporting.

And as for different places to purchase (if this is what you were referring to lol) i've practically got into contact with every retailer i can think of lol

FWIW, search inner strut clearance when running additional camber & bigger wheels.
It depends on your setup.

I would be amazed if there's any kind of deal here for you guys in the USofA.
That never happens for us up here.

Coilovers - There's a number of reasons I went for the GC's including forum feedback.

Guys i dont know if they'll ship to wherever, i simply made this thread to redirect you to the main thread so all questions should be posted over there and not here since no body can help here

I highly doubt they would ship though, just my 0.02

Interesting because it looks like inTgr8r is going with the GC's too. A number of folks I know, and better trust, worked me towards the GC's.

hmph, i guess its just all opinion-based then ? Main reason im going KW is due to this group buy now tho, how are you liking your GC's? do you have camber plates?

^ I think the V3 are a great all round choice if you're not into tracking much.
Inside strut clearance is only an issue with wider wheels and camber.


IMO, the GCs are a better choice for those that want linear springs and the ability to choose spring rates.
With pricing ($1,850) that includes camber plates, the price is tough to beat.

It will be interesting to see what the GB price is on the KWs

If this is a good enough price, could i compensate someone to meet me at the falls? or i could make a little bit of a roadtrip and either pick it up from the shop or maybe one of you canadadadians? Where is the shop located?
