Price wise it probably works out as yellows are 150 cheaper than FSDs are 150 cheaper than KW (Including the anti sways obviously).

EDIT: Saw your location.

[JVC]

have you considered the IPD Springs? 1.75 drop is a lot better. Why no IPD Sways with the Coilovers?

[prasamin]

if you just want LOW, then go KW, but the ride is much harsher.

if you want a good stance, and the ability to adjust firmness, and not too much bounciness, then the Koni Yellows with B+G is for you....i've ridden in a car with that combo several times, and I have to say that it is one of the best combo's of suspensions i've experienced....i thought it was even better than the Weitech's

Not too sure about the FSD, but I can tell you that I despise the Eibach springs for our cars.

WIN. Got them today as well. Nice and low, handles like a champ.

I have been very not happy with my Eibachs and FSDs. I had yellows before the FSDs and as soon as I can get these off im going back. I have ipd sways and hd endlinks with both setups and the yellows are much better.

[JCviggen]

KW's are vastly less comfortable, yet also vastly better in corners. There's no comparison. So depends what you're after really.

+1 koni yellows and ipd blues sex!

Thanks to everyone who posted! It has been a big help and I appreciate your opinions. I had recently tried to purchase some of the "cheaper" coilovers but they were from an unreliable source overseas and so that didn't happen.

$2.5k for kw (for suspension and complete steering and suspension overhaul) is a fair bit of cash on a car of not a lot of value and will these konis really beat my stock suspension that much to be worth $2k? If I slap on IPD anti-sways on the stock 850R suspension do I already match the koni upgrades?

I'm to the stage where I start thinking kw is the only option if i want the best for the car lol

I actually need to measure the gap between the wheel well and the tyre. Oh and probably a side on pic to show the gap correctly. Currently I have the 205/45/17 Pirelli PZeros on there. That's actually quite a slim tyre and there only seems to be 1-2" gap.

Perhaps we got different suspension to US specs too?

[MattS70T5]

these might work better

[OzzieOzzieOzzieOiOiOi]

Hey Bro!
Go for the koni yellows and the b&g. Save the cash from the kw and spend it on some more go-fast-bits! You know that's what I'm gunna do! (unless I can get a set of ipd springs into Australia at a reasonable price- not likely tho!)

STD Suspensions makes a cheaper quality coilover kit, it's about $800 US cheaper than kw's.

Anyone on this board try the S1 setup? I'd lke to see the drop and hear their opinions.

I voted FSD/Eibach/IPD sways, buts that's just because its what I have.

^^^Not that great.

[MattS70T5]

I might have to inquire about about the STD coil-overs then. If they are that well priced then I think they would certainly be worth a try

[cr854r]

lol i just possted a performance thred askin about those lol

[volvo500bhp]

It really depends what power level your car has the coilovers will always be the best route even if its just a road car i used to have fsd and eibachs on my 854 and thought they where great until i tried to put 535 hp through them after changing to Kw race spec varient 3 two way adjustable the car is superb and can handle the power so much better
