Those coilovers could be a tad less flashy if you ask me.

I too am curious on the release date for the new Pfadt Coilovers.......subscribed!

I have the pedders pace car package and it is awesome.. PEDDERS..

IMO, if you're looking to just lower your ride then get the BC coilovers. My car is a DD and I would never even use the higher end coilovers to 20% of their potential so I saw so sense in getting them. My goal was to get a lower and stiffer ride and the BC fits the bill. Find out what your goals are and then go from there.

Honestly BC br series also rides better than stock.

We are. From shim stacks to mounts the new units are going to be assembled by us, just like our Corvette units.

KW has, arguably, the best material construction quality of any coilover kit that I've seen. KW not only designs and manufacturers the coilovers, but they test them as well, to TUV certification levels. They also do this for each individual name plate which means they do it for Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Chevrolet and more. They also design and valve all the suspension dampers to each individual MODEL within that brand, so you're getting something truly unique.

KW's are designed with street driving in mind, that's what they're designed for unless you talk about the clubsport models. All of KW's essential parts are built in-house, they are not outsourced like a lot of other companies. Though to some, this isn't a big issue, but when you consider that gives them a very big advantage on the quality control of a system, other companies just cannot compete with that.

TUV Certification, as I've touched on before, is the highest quality of certification that a company can receive in Europe. Getting TUV certification requires such a large amount of time to seek this endorsement, it's unbelievable. Each individual part such as the coils, the shocks, and the strut cartridges are individually tested, and then re-tested to insure that it meets or exceeds TUV's very strict requirements.

Here's the kicker! Not only did the KW coilovers pass the TUV's rigorous requirements, but it did so on EVERY ride height setting, including the lowest possible setting available. I highly doubt most other coilover companies have the time or the energy, let alone the money to even do such a thing.

The strut housing/shock bodies are T-304 stainless and they are completely impervious to rust, corrosion, acid rain, salt on the roads and of course any other things you might see such as that. All their brackets are 10.9 rated T-6 Aluminum alloy that are all anodized to prevent corrosion.

The second kicker here, is that KW is also an OE supplier to Eibach ironically, because some of the springs they manufacture actually go onto other coilover kits! Lastly, KW is the OE supplier to all the Mercedes-Benz AMG cars, which is an astonishing fact on itself, a real achievement to any company.

Not only that, but as of late, they are also the OEM suspension on the FASTEST production car currently to run around the Nurburgring - The Dodge Viper ACR 10 (AKA ACR-x).

THIS is why I stick with KW on my car.

Well guys i wanna get coilovers mainly cuz i want to lower my car and run 20X10's up front. I love the stance of a lowered car but i do track the car about 4 times a year. (either auto cross or drag) just want it to handle better when cornering hard. (even better than now) so with that said what do u guys recommend???
