KW's are some of the best damn coilovers for the money..you will not be disappointed. You spent your money well in a suspension upgrade that will give your ride that extra edge.....personally I'm jealous 
Let us know how they are on the track.

That's a total weight savings of 28 lbs, when directly compared to the stock shock & spring assemblies..

You've never bought real racing parts? They're expensive for a reason. I bet these actually do more than just let you lower the car.
I'd still get Penske before I'd buy KW, but that's just personal preference. I'd be happy if Ohlins or Moton made shocks for the F too, but there just isn't a big enough population of serious drivers with IS-Fs to support developing and marketing stuff that works. I often wonder why and how Figs got into Lexus cars - it must be a labor of love, cause it surely isn't going to make him rich.
