While I know most of the people on here have the KW V3's i'm curious if anyone tried the cheaper tiens.

There is really only one sole reason I want new suspension, not for lowering.. But more for ride comfort. I find the 08 stock suspension too damn stiff in city roads. Highway's are fine because they are mostly smooth but in town in SF, it's down right nasty... Also I really can't lower the car since SF has stupid amounts of hills that require the clearance of stock height... I already scrape my bike hitch every time I go up in to my parking garage...

Anyways, the Tien CS's are 1500 and the SS are only 850.

Stupid cheap in my book vs the KW's I was about to buy... Since my car is mainly street duty and some light lapping, I don't think I would take advantage of the V3's anyways. (most people don't) I've had Tien's on 2 of my previous car's and they didn't disappoint.

I have BC racing coils and I love them. They go for $1000 so this might be an option if you're open to it. Many members on here use them. As for the tein cs, I knew someone who had them and said the ride was very comfortable and softer than stock. I never personally rode in it though.

Go for the BCs. They are cheaper and better than stock.

I have a set of Tein CS. I like them-they're ok. They still seem to be a little harsh of a ride though, I even opted to install the EDFC too. I was disappointed that I had to reuse my rear top suspension hat, my friend with megan coilovers was directly plug and play.
I have Tein CS on my IS300 and they ride more comfortable in the 300 than the F.

I also have the Tein CST coilovers, and they're a good balance of road feedback and comfort level. Some people prefer a harsher ride, while others prefer more comfort in a sport sedan. I'm going on almost four years with mine, and I'm still glad I chose it. Best of luck!

I'm happy with the CST. Been on them almost two yrs and the ride is much better comfort wise.

I had Tein Super Streets on another car and would do it again...I just wish they made a twin "flex" version with upper pillow mounts.

I just purchased some BC coils with upgraded swift springs at 14/10. You can choose your spring rates with the BC. Can't wait to receive and install them. Takes 3/4 weeks if you opt for the swift springs. My main concern is the camber after lowering and waiting on front LCA to correct this. Enjoy whatever you get. =)

Go with KW V3. Its the best coils you can get for the ISF. It totally changes ride on the ISF street and track. You can get it from CM for 2075 shipped. Look them up on the vendor marketplace.

I bought them last year. But all I did was PM the vendor CM and thats the price they gave me at the time. I also bought a set of BCs from them for my SC 300.

How do the JIC's compare to the KW3's in ride quality?

I only sat it my friend car who had the kw3's for a bit, cant tell you how much different between JIC vs Kw3 . Unless some canyon driving or track. They are similar in term of more comfy than stock
