iLLM3-- thanks
I am actually sending the front lip, sides, and rear to be color matched now. I am looking for a front bumper that doesn't hang out as far as the Techart--any suggestions?

KWs for your GTO

Also, do any of you have any contacts at KW that can verify they are about to release these?

Kw Coilover
The main differneces are in the adjustability and ride comfort-- Bilstein uses a single adjuster to increase or decrease dampening. So that means compression and rebound can only be adjusted together. KW utilizes 2 adjusters 1 for each (comp/rebound) so you can tune your suspension for your own personal needs (track or street) KWs are also made of stainless steel so no rust or corosion. If you have any questions let me know---

thanks joe, sorry if i wasn't clear enough...could you elaborate on the road comfort compared to the pss9s, i felt it was quit bumpy and unsettling on road that weren't super-smooth...another words, you felt every thing on the road, to the simplest indentation...

ride comfort
I would say in an right out of box comparison with no adjustments to dampening the KWs ride 20% better, with the ability to go softer on comp or rebound. I have mine set up with the fronts at 50% and the rears turned up slightly more. I have not aligned the my car yet which will be done on Thursday after I mount my new rims. After that I can do my final ride height and dampening adjustments-- I can't wait-- I would say you could inprove you ride quality by at least 20% over the Bilsteins--- If you are anywhere near San Diego I can give you a ride. Joe
Pss9s are something like $2400 a set... how much are the KWs....
My point is: should they even be compared? Or a Moton vs. KW would be a better comparison. ??? I actually don't know so I'm asking.
