Golf4283 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 So I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of coilovers cause I just can't resist the mod bug and with a 3.0R there aren't many engine options out there yet. I am undecided between BC racing coilvoers and the Megans. I know the RCE and KW's are nicer but they are at a price too so I'm just unsure as to what is the best. Any recommendations on what I should go with. Either set will cost around $1k or should I wait and save up for something else. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Well it depends on what you are looking for? I have the Kw V.2 for about a year now and they soak up bumps and ride like a BMW. Firm but, not harsh at all very smooth. They really keep the car under control. I will post a picture of how low it will make your car when I get home. I'm posting on my phone.

BlackHole Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 If your local roads have a lot of potholes I would recommend against the MR/BCs. My experience is that they just don't have enough travel for big holes, even though that statement is not in my best interest. I've have both MR and BCs for sale (both <$1k) if you have smooth roads and want to save a few bucks. Kyle "BlackHole" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the KW2s for over a year. Close to as nice as a ride as an M3, definitely harder riding then a regular BMW.

Spec B Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 If your local roads have a lot of potholes I would recommend against the MR/BCs.

I've have both MR and BCs for sale (both <$1k) if you have smooth roads and want to save a few bucks. For what it is worth, I have BC coilovers (non inverted) and they are IMO fine for NJ/NY roads. But based on what I have read, the BC inverted coilovers ride a little harsher than the non inverted.
