Wowzer, how much are we talking about here if you mind me asking? 1.2k 1.5? $. Definitly will be looking in this, this is crazy good looking

S197GT07

V1's are around $1500
V3's are around $2200

Apparently, Roush buys the V2's and puts their own name on them, so essentially you can get the V2's for somewhere in the middle.

Approx $1800 installed

Sick looking setup!

Did you take a look at the Bilstein HD coilovers as well? I'm in the process of narrowing down a coilover kit, and rust resistance is pretty important here in upstate NY. Now I'm wondering about each kit's corrosion resistance, as I was leaning pretty heavily with the Bilsteins.

To my knowledge Bilstein uses aluminium threaded body, where KW is full stainless steel kit, all parts.

I did a lot of research in regards to corrosion and rust, although aluminum does not rust, it does corrode, heavily through salt application and other contaminants.

I also ended up crusing a lot of VW/JDM forums and found people who had taken their KWs out after 3-5 years (Winter use), cleaned em off and they looked as good as new.

This was the big selling point for me, I needed the product to last through the winter with little or no maint. (I will be rust proofing and re-lubricating them everytime I swap from Summer -> Winters and Winters -> Summers.

What sort of rust proofing and re-lubrication are you planning?

Toxix

I get my car rust proofed every year here, we sometimes have some brutal winters and a hell of a lot more salt application.

I take it to Krown to rust proof the full vehicle. As for lubrication, just anually regreasing the coils to prevent seizing.

I know what you're talking about now, my gf has the same thing done to her car every year (At first I was thinking you clear coated just the suspension parts or something). Pretty nasty stuff they spray under there, but the shop never puts it on the shocks/structs/springs that I know of.

Salt is terrible here too, usually on the road from October thru April consistently.

Thanks for the info.
