Did you get any answers as to if these are any good? I know they are brilliant on VW's and Audi's but not sure how they compare to other coilivers for the Subaru...

He has the version 3 coilivers not the club sport if I remember correctly.
They will be a decent set of coilivers just no idea what they are like to other brands...

I have the remote reservoir V3's and they're a superb damper. Beautifully built and very compliant on undulating roads. The clubsports come with top mounts too.
You get what you pay for when it comes to suspension and I think short of a set of £4k Ohlins, the KWs are absolutely superb.

Hello frayz, do you use the standard top mounts on your v3?

Thanks

Thanks Frayz, I was wondering if you would know how they compare to bc's?

I had bc's on a previous car, and always regretted it, I had a feeling I shoud have gone for the kw instead.

Yep the Bilsteins and KWs will be nearly double the price but quality does not come cheap

This time round I will definately be getting KW's, I knew the BC's were cheap for a reason but didnt realise just how bad they were going to be.

Very nice!!

Are they the B16's? Would you give us a review after you have fitted them?

Also, I was told by a few garages Whiteline dont make top mounts anymore?? Are they new?

Yes they are, hopefully collecting the car this weekend so will review once I have a thorough drive in the car.

They have been discontinued by whiteline but Alyn @ AS Performance has a few sets left and I purchased them from him
