The noise you hear from Tein's is the pillow ball upper mount. KW's have a rubber mount, which won't make as much noise. The noise is not an issue of quality.

There is a difference though in performance. The KW V3's are designed for the street with some track. KW Clubsports are more track with some street. Don't think they have clubsports for us yet.

I think the monotubes are better compared to a set of clubsports.

Great resource

Those are both good choices. I'd consider HKS too, I've had them on several cars and was always happy with street and occasionl track use. The newest version has independant height adjustment and a rubber bushing in the aluminum upper mount to reduce harshness/noise. Product info HERE

I've been debating in between TEIN MONOFLEX and KW V3.
I was told my many people that KW V3 is definitely a better product.
Anyways, my questions are:
1. front camber kit and rear camber kit are recommanded when I get coilovers? and which brand would you recommand?
2. which sway bar / stabilizer is the best or close to best?
3. how much should I expect to pay for the installation of coilovers?(I just don't wanna get ripped off by these people at the shop)

Thanks in advance guys!


I would get the KW's also, mainly because I got them....lol

1. SPC rear is good enough unless you really want to slam your ride.
2. any brand is good
3. 3 hours labour to install it all and adjust it.

I have the Kw V3's with the stock rear camber arms and am lowered an inch, and am still unsure if I even need the spc rear camber arms?

That's easy- take it to an alignment shop, and ask them to put it back to factory camber specs. If the adjustment is maxed out before getting back to spec, you need a camber kit :)

If you are interested.

We have run both sets and the Mono Flex is more track oriented. We had many customers that own the KWs and love them. The progressive springs are more comfortable on the street.

EDFC option is nice that the KW does not offer.

We like the HKS too!

Kinda hard for street though IMO
