I have a version 4 Type R and my rear suspension is clattering.

I am looking to upgrade it all around, as i think it is still on the standard stuff.

I am thinking a set of BC SPORTS BRSeries - Type RA complete coil over damper kit

or

KW AUTOMOTIVE VARIANT 1 COIL OVER KIT -
http://www.scoobyparts.com/acatalog/...-_S_STEEL.html

I have read very good reviews of the KW kit, so that is why i am tempted to pay a little more for it.

Any thoughts or comments which is best to buy for my set up ?

 

Does anyone run KW variant 3 on a classic sti ?

Do i need to buy additional top plates to fit these ? or does the kit bolt straight on ?

 

KW V3 will be much better than the BC tat

For a much cheaper option (and in alot of ways better) how about sourcing a low miles used OE V5/6 red dampers? Will be a step up from your dual tubed dampers, and you could give them a quick regrease before fitting to stop the usual knocking

 

after lots of internet searches and talking to some tuners, the best combo for me, due to living where the roads are terrible is

KYB AGX struts
Eibach Pro Springs

 

Hi there

KW V3 are great coilovers and comparing them to BC is not comparable,both coilovers are placed in different markets like in price and ride/comfort

I've tried KW V3 on friend car and must admit I loved them,but for money I would go down the route of the Nitron Two way,they cost similar money plus Rolling lifetime warranty

And with both you can use Group N or any standard top mounts,but at those I would go with WhiteLine Top mounts,which cost around £200

For best prices on top mounts and KW coilovers speak over here with Alyn@AS Performance

KYB AGX seems to have good reviews,I've tried only once and I've been with them impressed

Depends on more factors what you want to do,if car is more for track,you will be better with above mentioned coilovers(Nitron or KW)
