I also need camber plates right? and they take the place of the strut mounts? will the maximum motorsport caster/camber plate work with the KWs or do I need a different one? does kw make one?

Yes, you get the full warranty.

FWIW I also sell these. They are Tokico D-specs which link compression and rebound damping together, like Eibach R1's which I don't love. Remember the conversation we had about how that works. But if you want to go that way, I am a Steeda distributor too.

Camber plates take the place of OEM mounts, yes. You do not NEED them, the OEM's will work. They offer some easier adjustment (there is some on the KW strut itself already). The aftermarket stuff is tougher and easier to change. But this is one those things that gets made out to be a MUST HAVE, when it's really not... more a "recommended" part.

Yeah, I'm sure you'll be happy with either set up these guys are recommending. If you stay reasonable with the spring rates, these S197s can still hook well in a straight line when they're lowered.

I say go with the H&R's.They are amazing for how much they do for your car: stance wise and body roll

I got v3's from Sam about two months ago now. I couldn't be happier. They are everything I wanted and more. Really glad I spent the time to talk with him and figure out what I really wanted. You won't be disappointed. Money well spent
