Tein w/EFDC comes highly recommended.

But KW problems have only surfaced recently.... But if I were to go it again, and had your list to choose from.. the Tein.

Thanks for the heads up on the KW's. Does this apply to both the KWv1's and KWv2's?? I spoke with someone at Tein the other day and he told me that they've been getting positive feedback. Unfortunately Tein will not be making coilovers for the AWD version of our cars. I know KW has some AWD Coilovers and I wonder if this is the same problem on the AWD versions of our cars.

Like I said, only a couple of members reported issues with the KW's.... mnay here have had the V2's for a long time.... Not sure why the small % of failure....

maybe the other brands have the same or worse failure rate, but the fact that they are new, or not many on the forum, we just haven't heard of issues yet?

Pardon my ignorance, but "teins"? Is that short for Bils"teins"? Or am I off base here?
