Looking to update my DD. Going to do the FE4 sway's just need to make a decision on my coilovers at this point. Undecided and unsure whether or not the V3's will be overkill since my car will more then likely never see the track.

....You should consider having your car see the track....If not, I would just leave it stock....You may save money on less expensive coil-overs for street use, but might regret it later if you decide to track it...

....Just sayin', the track is what these mods are for, IMO...Good luck...

BTW, I went with Ride-Techs...not too expensive, not too cheap....drove from LA to Vegas, auto-xed there, drove back....all good...car felt great, and not even noisy this time....

Not even noisy this time?

That worries me. Lol. I do take my car up through the canyons on super car sunday which is like a track day in itself in certain areas so the nicer coilovers would be nice even for my DD street use. Well see though..

Regarding new KW V3s (Part# 35261099); if they don't have external reservoir anymore, aren't they inferior to the original V3s in performance?

Prices are the same. We can still get them, but we don't have them listed on our website. Just give me a call if you would like to order a set.

This is the post I was referring to. If it doesn't have the external reservoir, how can it be as good as the FE3 version?
