SRT with KW V2 review needed

[300CUL8R]

I'm considering upgrading the suspension of my CSRT to the KW Variant 2 Coilovers. Any SRT drivers out there who have made the move care to chime in with a recommendation? I'm not sure if it makes that big a difference over stock. Not looking to lower the car signifcantly so there's no need for the UAS.

Depends on what you want 'over stock'...adjustability of the dampening and adjustable height. After driving FreebirdSRT for almost a week as well as FreeBee - there is a slight handling difference with the KWs (Freebird has the KWv2 and FreeBee is stock) I don't know how Mark had the dampening set but the stance alone of his CSRT was enough to convince me. hehe

G'luck w/ you decision! Oh, FYI, he has purchased but not installed the KW v1 for FreebirdSRTII (his Magnum) and for FreeBee. He said he has not changed the dampening setting since he put them on so he went w/ the v1 for his other two SRTs.

CUL8R,
I installed KW Var II on my SRT8 a while back & I'm very pleased.
I wanted the adjustability on the ride height & rebound rate, although I haven't adjusted the latter yet.
This setup is a bit stiffer than the stock SRT8 suspension, which is very good. If I wasn't going to lower the car I don't know if I would go through the cost and hassle of installing the KW's... But I HAD to lower it.

Right after I installed the KW's, TEIN came out with their version, which is available with an adjustable rebound on the fly- definitely what I would have selected if they were available when I did it. Having an adjustable suspension is so great... I had it on my Vette & I used it almost as much as the stick!

Here is a link to the "how to" I wrote on the install (PIA).

The ride is firmer, yet less harsh over bumps; a big improvement. On corners, they are amazing. My confidence on the twisties, like the canyons in L.A., improved dramatically. Lastly, I dropped mine a bit as well and I love the stance. A huge thumbs up here!

IMO..one of THE best "mods" you can do to this car for the $$$

Thanks everyone. These are the opinions I thought I'd get. Will start looking for a good deal on them.
