I'm still surprised they didn't release the variant 2 at the same time? $1,400 would be a good price for variant 2s, while the variant 1s could be sold at around $1,200.

H&R's are in the 1100-1200 range. That was my route. Again all I'm looking for is better ride height will never ever track the car not even an auto x. I wish there was a cheaper spring and shock option as I will probably never adjust the ride height after it's set once.

$1300 + shipping for the V1s is too much. I really want V3s, but it's more than I'm looking to spend at the moment - especially w/ labor costs factored in. At $1200 shipped for the V1s, I'd probably pull the trigger. |

$1100 max for V1s.
I mean they are just shocks and spings.....
I have a noob question. If the V1s lower the car how will that affect alignment, tire wear, etc. Are there other suspension adjustments that need to be made to make the car ride properly? |

And with the dollar tanking these will go up A LOT
I can see all Euro products going up 40% within a year.

Should be approx 2.5 Hours of labor - Expect to pay about $300-$350 depending on the shop and expertise, and if they work with you on tuning your suspension. I don't know about 40%, but I sure hope not. The last time the whole dollar thing happened at the end of 07 we saw the KW product shoot up 15-20%. |

So, every time I adjust the height on the V1s I'd need an alignment?

I'm thinking about going with the V3, I'm looking for just a little drop but want a good upgrade in handling and stiff as hell, I could care less about ride quality as long as I can carve those corners.
How much for a handling upgrade will the V3's be compared to my standard sport suspension as this is my next mod on my list? |
