I sell KW.... They are more tham most want to spend. I don't believe the spring rates are quite right either. But I have them for those that are really desiring a ready-made set of coil-overs (though the rears are technically weight jackers, not coil over shock type).
I don't hate the KW's, but I do think it best we change spring rates vs. what them come with. If you are interested, let me know.

Most everyone i know with 'coilovers' have set them once, and never wanted to deal with it again so obviously if i can save some money and get similar results with your setup i'd rather do that!
Anymore information than what i already searched for AFTER i made this thread
would be appreciated! thanks

If you set coil-overs at the same height and run the same rates, there is no difference on the spring side. You buy coil-overs to adjust spring rates and/or ride height. I personally feel the Koni's dampers are a bit better than the KW's dampers are. I could use the KW's on my Camaro in the class it's setup for, but I don't.

Just a heads-up regarding availability. I'm so busy that I've not been able to keep others supplied on my springs and bars because I need them all to fill my orders. In fact of the springs coming in some 62% are, as of this moment already sold, and I sold out of the run of bars already.
I need to supply my direct customers first and foremost and allow UMI and FastToys to sell my products as a courtesy (and I'm glad they want to use them). I also sell all of UMI's products and it's much easier for me to get product from them than it is for me to supply them at this point in time. Either way both Strano Performance and UMI make sales. I'm just trying to make you aware that I can only fill wholesale orders with what's left after filling my retail orders, and that's not be been much because the springs and bars are so in demand.
