i love mine. for daily use when i did use them for that were great. i love them on the track just need to be a tad stiffer but for what i am using them for on the track would be an issue. they work great.... i am selling mine but only because i want a 3 way setup with more valve. But still sticking with KW's just not the v3's

I checked the first 3 pages of the IS-F classifieds, where do you have them for sale and how much?
Any additional feedback from those of you with the KW's installed? Ride quality, performance, suspension noise, etc.
I finally got these installed a little over a month ago and they are wonderful. I took pics of the install and the modification to the OE strut mount that needs to be reused with the KW's but have not had the time to put a thread together with it.
The ride is probably what the stock car should have felt like, but I'd expect nothing less from KW. These were developed in conjunction with Tom's and they definitely address the ride while maintaining good handling. For track use they would need to be stiffer but I have another I use for that so they suit me fine.
If you're in Socal hit up Tommy@MusicBox! i know he has alot of experience with installing any lexus aftermarket parts and his price is very reasonable IMHO!
vividracing.com said 500 bucks with alignment. I emailed them with $$$500 for installing coilovers??? and they're reply was "Um yeah, do you have the special tools? What kind of "special" tools do they require lol
no special tools are required. only one needed that is somewhat special is a ball joint popper.. that is 12 bucks at autozone. DYI and save your money...

The install for the KW's is a bit more involved than a set of Tein's because the KW's reuse the stock mounts and require trimming/cutting of the front mounts. So I can see them charging at the top of the range ($250) but without knowing what their alignment includes (maybe they are corner balancing the car too) I'd say the price is a bit much.
The "special" tools they might be talking about are the scales and alignment machine they are going to use .
The guy (aka Jeff) from vivd racing in Gilbert, AZ clearly stated that it was going to be $500 for install and alignment. It would be an all day thing. Drop off at 8am and pick up at 5am. LOL
well.. they cant be corner balancing it if you are just dropping it off since they need you there to sit in it so ... 500 steep.. rather then arguing with them.. just pick up the parts and shop somewhere else. its not an all day thing.. alignment is a hr job and coilovers 2.5 hrs max if they know what they are doing..
well.. we all have to make money. and if i recall VIVID has a huge over head of parts and shop is pretty nice so those are all factors of having to make some money.
True but at what expense? Now, not only will i never get my car serviced from them but they have this info on the forum. $300 would have been more reasonable and the reply to my email was not professional in my opinion.
