Thanks for the reply! I would like to improve my car and had interests in KW v3s + Sway bars. GMG springs/sways combo gets such great review and it really got me thinking. If GMG combo is just as good as V3 with sways, then there's really no need to spend the extra 2k.


I am sure I would try out the Eibach kit if there are reviews on the board. It's just too costy to have those installed and taken out if I don't like them. I have been quoted the cheapest 8 hours for the install + 2 hours alignment at 100 Per hour .

coilovers just make your car feel totally different when set up, they are also a lot more work if you want your car dialed in. It sounds like you would be happier with the gmg setup, as I am hearing you aren't in to tracking the car to much. Coilovers were the best mod I did on my STi, it really made the car into a go kart type feel. It also takes off weight too and you can feel that sprung weight. Again, if you really want your ride height to your exact spec and the ability to control how stiff or not stiff you want your car then you want coilovers. I would drive someone's car locally with a gmg setup and see how you feel, but the thing with the gmg setup is that you are stuck with that, you can't alter your setup unlike you can with coilovers, the adjustability is really what the coilovers offer you, again drive a gmg car and then if you like that get it, if you want anything different than what the gmg does in that car you test drive then you pretty much have to go with coilovers.

Don't forget the cost of setting up the coilovers if you can't do that yourself, you have to figure that into the cost.

Sounds like the OP would do well with the GMG springs and sways.
