Who here has KW Coilovers...>>>
Please convince me that these are way better than a Bilstein/Eibach or Koni/Eibach setup. Is the ride smoother or rougher. How do they handle better. Please be specific.

I had Eibach/Bilstein
on the car for maybe about 7k miles. It handles pretty well but it was not low enough for me. I switched over to H&R Coilovers just recently and I feel that the ride is soooo much smoother and it corners alot better. Eibach/Bilstein were just a little too rough for me. -Krit

Re: Unless you want to fine tune your ride height its probably not worth re-doing your suspension.
If it smooths out the rough ride that I have sometimes, then it would be worth it. Hopefully I can find a buyer of my Koni/Eibach setup

I do, but have nothing to compare to but stock >
nevertheless, I find them pretty stiff, but am really pleased with the handling improvement. I also like the adjustability, and am considering tweaking mine a bit lower to fine-tune, and that flexibility is a real plus.

The roughness really depends...
on what type of road your on. My coilovers are much smoother at low and high speeds but get rough from time to time on different stretches of highway at moderate speeds (60 to 80).

yeah, I'm thinking of crusing at 80 - 90 and feeling >
absolutely every one of the expansion joints, and the joints laid with asphalt, squeezed up into a ridge, will nearly send you flying!

I have V1 - had Eibach and have Koni on other
car...I would not recommend Koni or Eibach over KW's...much smoother ride with the KW's and much better handling, from my experience over the koni and bilsteins...eibach springs, in my experience, have always produced too much of a harsh ride for a daily driver...ok for track, for daily driver it's a back killer - for me anyways.
