Default whitch coilovers? Tein,AST or KW??

I know there are a lot of threads on here about coilovers but I don't get the answers I want so I'm starting my own thread.

I'm currently saving for a new set of coilovers for my weekend / track GC8 Type R. My Tein Super Street's are getting old and tired I think and I want a new fresh set where I, among others, can adjust the hight in the right way without changing the spring compression.


I have been looking at Tein Mono Flex, KW Ver3 and AST Sportline II

Does anybody have any other suggestions on coilovers in the same price??



Do anyone know how thick the shafts is on the tein's and kw's? The AST Sportline II has 45mm.


The car isn't a daily driver so the comfort isn't a priority.

Running 330hp and got these chassi mods right now.

I've been recommended KW Clubsport and that's what I'm planning to get.
