anyone have experience with the KW coilovers?
I'm curious how the ride is with the CTS-V's? I am looking at possibly picking them up, as I am pretty sure I can get them for about $1400......but I dont want the car to have a horrible ride with them, so am curious if anyone has experience with their own V.
thanks
thanks

The KW's are great, Haven't seen anyone offering them for less than 1800......... Better jump on that before they change there mind

well I have a wholesale setup through a vendor, but since they dont normally stock them, it's not as cheap as I thought it would be instead its 1600.....o well, I still got to figure out if I want to go that route or not...
thanks for the responses

I have them on my car and think the ride is fantastic. About the same as it was with the FG2s, if not a little better. A buddy of mine borrowed the car and he commented on how smooth the ride was. When I installed them I elected to swap out the rear springs from the "standard" 9kg/mm (~500#/in) to 10kg/mm (~570#/in) to match the fronts, since the OEM setup is matched front and rear.
I've done 3 track days with them, and just a few weeks ago did a 5500-mile cross-country trek with the car fully loaded. The suspension handled both extremes without issue.
Where are you located? I'd be happy to let you feel the ride first-hand if you're somewhere around the DC area.
