springs and shocks are different. Fronts are Bilstein shocks and the rear is Nivomat. Springs are shorter and stiffer. I did the install myself took about 6 hours (not mechanically inclined and I was totally by myself). I am running Toyo Proxe ST's 255 55 18's.
Got a really special deal from a forum member (1bad4dr). Contact Hennessey performance they have them all the time. I have heard of people getting them for around 300 or so.

where to get this KW v2 kit? i'll search ebay, i'm sure it's there...
I bought mine from Full Throttle Speed for $1,420. FTS is also a site sponsor. KW's are made in Germany, so if they are not in stock, you will have a 3-4 week wait.

Zip. The only thing I have sunk a bunch of money into is the wheels/suspension. I am done modding my car for now. The Superchip Flashpaq is a possibility though.

okay, that didn't come out right... what i'm asking is how has it improved your performance? HP, MPG? what can u see?
You can get springs from eibach I did that on my 300 I got the sportsline lowers the car 2 inches all around and the handling has dramatically improved. boy do I mean dramtically it got stiffer and I can corner a hell of a lot better. Just trying them out when I first put them on I got on the highway and here getting on the highway is a loop I could go 60 and not feel like the car was about to tip over. Before I usually only went about 40 and that was pushing it cause it literall felt like the car was going to roll over on its side. I have 255/45/R20's. I had them on the car before I put the springs on and going around those loops to get on the highway I could hear and feel the tires coming off the ground. Now it feels great!!!
Superchip can add up to 25hp and improve gas mileage but from what I understand its one or the other. You have to use 89 or better octane for preformance and if you want a slight preformance increase but better gas mileage you use 87. Thats what I get out of reading the info about the jet chips.

Oh I got the sportlines for $258 shipped and then installed them myself. Pretty easy except the hard part is lining the bolt holes in the back. My friend helped me out which was great! The front we just took out the whole assembly took off the old springs put on the new ones. The back you take out 1 bolt and put in the new springs make sure you have a jack underneath though cause that spring will unleash and you dont want to have any part of your body under it!!! We just jacked up too it took the bolt out and then slowly lowered the jack. The spring came right out we put the new one in and then spent about 2 hrs trying to line the freakin hole back up!!!! But it was worth it I like doing stuff to my own car just so I can learn more about it!
