Yup, my thoughts exactly. I gave this vendor the price for SPP and I guess they just beat it with a large group buy...

Will wait for the other vendor in Canada... looks like we'll all end up with H&Rs.

But this vendor only charges $60 for shipping right? Comparing to the other is it $200?

How much is the H&R coilover? My sister E46 325xi uses H&R coilover too, they are height adjustable only. Also is kind of slammed too, but I find the ride ok. Its stiff, but is kind of rough (maybe is too slammed) but is not like Tein SS in my RSX that kind of rough, the rebound is nice too. Does anyone have the link so I can check the specs out.

SGxi · 06-10-2008, 11:13 PM

Yes, I was quoted $60 for each set.

H&R is here:

How much $$ to install lowering springs and will it cause damage to my oem shock?

SGxi · 06-11-2008, 09:26 AM

If you search the forum, most people don't recommend installing just hte lowering spring... and you may experience hopping over bumps.

Please dont do it, do it right the first time, my sister lowered her 325 on H&R race springs and after 6 months, the ride became very bouncy. You will end up blowing your stock shocks and resulting shitty ride and then paying money to get new coilover and get them install. Dont waste $500 for nothing.

Hey, I just spoke to a Canadian supplier for H&R. Best he could do was $1500 + GST delivered to GTA = CAD$1575 (he's located in Quebec, so we don't have to pay PST). Tirerack quotes an all-in (brokerage, taxes, duties), delivered to your door price of USD$1557. I have a USD credit card, so I don't have to worry about the normal 2.5% commission on foreign currency and also the exchange rate used by the credit card companies. If you have to factor that in, then Tirerack will be a touch more expensive.

We could try a U.S. vendor, but quite frankly I am concerned with customs brokerage, duties and taxes.

Just FYI.

SGxi · 06-12-2008, 05:56 PM

Hmmm, i thought the H&Rs can go as low as $800 a set?

Maybe a spring/shock combo. This is a coilover kit.

cto · 06-12-2008, 10:32 PM

Which is better, KW or H&R?

Must be seeing things

T i h o r · 06-13-2008, 08:37 AM

Did you guys try Modbargins of AutoTalent?

I bought mine from Sam@AT, and I got a pretty damn good price for just buying one.

I highly recommend contacting one of those vendors.

I believe it is universally accepted that the KW > H&R.

yuggy · 06-14-2008, 07:38 AM

SGxi · 06-20-2008, 05:12 PM

KW V1- $1227
KW V2-$1525
KW V3-$1766
KW V3 xi model- $1847

$1495 V2 for Mini

KW V3 for xi: 2295 1950.75 1853 1741
KW V2 for Cooper S 1795 1525.75 1449 1362

Looks like not really much difference for it....

Shipping can be done from either US or Germany, add $60 per kit. 2-3 weeks for deliver. We can order individually.

$1440 for V2 looks good. is it the total number of kits or does it have to be of the specific version to qualify for discount?

tomtom · 06-21-2008, 02:23 PM

do most go with V2 or PSS9 or 10s? they are priced similarily...

I tend to believe is the total for the specific version.

SGxi · 06-24-2008, 06:35 PM

Ok, I have found a vendor who are kind of willing to deal, anyone have a price in mind they want to pay for the KWs?

Asclepius · 06-24-2008, 07:41 PM

I was quoted $1460 for V2's shipped to my door 3 or 4 months ago from supreme power. I would certainly hope alot cheaper than that.
