Lightbulb Eibach vs KW

If you have a choice which coilover you will go for 300C RWD and why ?


- Eibach Pro-Street-S Coilover Front: 1.6" to 2.8" Rear: 1.2" to 2.0"


OR


- KW V2 Coilover Front: 0.8" to 2.0" Rear: 0.9" to 2.1"

I may be wrong here, but I think that is like trying to comare the HEMI with the base V6!

KWv2. The KW's have dampening adjustment, while the eibachs do not.

I had Eibach's on my car for two weeks and hated them. The car jumped all over the place and cornering at high speeds was uncomfortable. I had them switched out for KWV2 and I love them. Ride height adjustable and dampering set to exactly where I wanted it. The ride is smooth even at very high speeds. I recommend KWV2 all the way

I know someone with the KWV2 set to the lowest possible setting all around. I'm not sure why that's not enough? The car is so low it looks unreal. He is also running 30 series tires in the front and 25s in the rear. Not sure the tire combo your running or looking at. Just this past Saturday we took a cruise around and this bagged mini truck just did not believe that the car was not bagged. This truck followed us and kept asking us to hit the switch. We kept telling him that were running coilovers. They just couldn't believe it.

You'll find that slamming the KWs all the way as low as they'll go is plenty low. 2.5" lowered and you'd be scraping the ground on every little bump! .5" doesn't sound like much but its huge in terms of lowering a car. The KWs will get you as low as you want to go. If you want lower, go air ride.

FYI: My KWs are lowered as far as they'll go in the rears and have less than 1/8" of an inch left to go in the front. The distance between the ground and the highest point of the wheel well is 28 3/8". The distance between the ground and the rear wheel wells is 28 7/8" Apparently, this equates to a 2.125" drop all around. Also, the lowest point on my car occurs behind the front wheels where the front door meets the front quarter panel. Ground clearance there is just shy of 4"

The KW's are awesome!!! I sell lots of KW kits to Porsche's, Mercedes, BMW's, etc... I can guarantee it's a GREAT kit, both in build quality and functionality.

Plus, I can give all of you board members a nice discount.
