KW, AST, and JRZ are all great coilover manufacturers and you're going to be happy with any of them.

Just make sure you get good dampers with whatever coilovers you buy.

wow.

These are all three different coilover manufacturers with their OWN dampers. You dont know what your talking about . Please refrain from giving advice until you do.

Sorry you couldn't figure out the subtle difference in the wording, I have changed it so that it doesn't anger you so. I meant to say in a entirely separate statement; "Make sure you get a good set of dampers no matter what coilovers you buy".

They're two separate thoughts. I thought it prudent to include the additional statement for the casual reader interested in coilovers since we're such a serious board with serious posts seriously.
