Help me pick a coilover!!

So finally after taking care of all maintenance and going fbo, I'm finally ready to get some coilovers!

Only thing is, I know the kw v1/v3 are the go to for coilovers but I also see bc racing br/rm series and the silvers neomax. With the bc and neomax's I can upgrade to swift springs which will bring it pretty close to the kw's.

So my question is, which should I go for?? Are the bc's and neomax with swift spring worth the upgrade?

Thanks for the help!

KW is a the only option when comparing them to BC / Swift lol.

Spend the few extra bucks and get a properly sorted out suspension.


You can Also check out bilstein.

Yep that's what I was thinking too. Kw's seem like the gold standard for put cars.

I'm happy with the KW V1's on mine, but the rears are too soft. Ride quality is way better than stock suspension, but over large bumps the rear is a little "loose" feeling. I'm not smart enough to know if it's under-sprung or under-damped, but it's one of those! lol
