For a mildly modded (chip, intake, exhaust) 180 TTQ that will see plenty of quality twisty windy roads but no racing (it's the daily driver.)
Would I even notice the difference for this application? Which would you choose and why?

was going to buy some used H&R's but relized my last set, even tho there new were still to bouncy. So i was going ot do koni cause there the same as aonther companys set up for the most part, but if the KW group buy is good, them hey, why not

i think they are amazing. the handling is superb and gives almost zero body roll in the twisties. they also provide a very comfortable ride, where as some say the eibach/bilstein has a tendency to be bouncy. just my 2 cents. btw, the ride height adjustability is so much better.

Everything I see, puts them several hundred dollars higher than Koni and H&R--they're even a little higher than the PSS9s as far as I can tell, or am I missing something?
Here's one example. My searches on TTstuff and ECS Tuning didn't even show them listed. Someone enlighten me, it is late after all, maybe it's time for bed. ;o)<ul><li><a href="http://pro-imports.chainreactionweb.com/cre/index.php/cPath/22/filter_id/49/page/2?osCsid=2f18587efa1bca3af4ea58bf2cfbcdc9">$1400.

I hear that the KWs are good. BUT, probably more for the track. You don't sound like you'll be do too much of that. You get more adjustability, but will you use it? Is it worth the extra $$$ to you? I think you'd be happy with them.
I think you'd be happy with bilstein/eibachs too. I was very impressed with them on the Dragon at TT East. For my driving they're great. I don't track the car...I just like to have fun on the twisties whenever I get a chance.
I love em!
Probably can't go wrong either way! I hope this has helped a bit...
