Guys and gals,

I wanted to see who here is running the KW V3's for any of the 2IS's including the F. These are the best coil overs we sell (and I run them myself ;)) and wanted to know your feedback?

I should receive my KW V3's next week. Hopefully installed soon after. Will post some feedback soon...

So far I've had the KW V3's on the car for about 2 weeks. Just had some fine tuning and an alignment done today. WOW! The ride is fantastic... Initially I had the rebound set at the factory setting of 6 (out of 18) it was a little choppy on the freeway for my taste. Now I have the rebound set at 9 and what a difference. I left the compression settings alone for the most part. Just backed off a quarter turn in the front.

Very easy to adjust these to your preference. Freeway ride is very smooth. The overall handling has improved dramatically. For me, definitely worth the price. I was able to lower the car (about 1 1/2 inches) with no rubbing so far. We'll see what happens when I receive my new rims and tires.

The steering feel is just phenomenal. Turn in is very quick. Even though I'm coming from the stock set-up and I've never had coilovers before the difference is just... WOW!! I have had a 240sx and a couple of RX-7s in the past and I would put this at the top of the list... I can't wait for the Volk's and the Advan AD 08's to arrive...

As you can tell... Very please with the purchase and performance of these coilovers.

KW told me that they haven't done any testing of the sedan kit on the vert yet.....no do they have any upcoming plans to do so either :( :( :(

Do you know if they came out with a part number specifically for the IS-C????

Although I have an is300 I have had the kw v3 for 5 months now and they are the best coilovers I have ever owned. They have a great range of adjustability for whatever you desire from your car.

Almost one year since installing the KW V3's... Still impressed with the overall smoothness and improved handling with these coilovers. I'm sure the PS2's help a bit too! Just recently had a lot of road work done in my area and have hit a few BIG bumps lately. No problems at all... Now with the fresh and smooth asphalt... Well, you got to have a little fun, right. No regrets at all with these. I know some say they are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. No regrets here.
