Still undecided on what coils to go with. I have heard that Tein's are not that great from others outside of this forum. KW, BC and Tanabe seem to be good bets.

Of those 3 KW are defintely the best but also the most expensive.

Thanks for the heads up BJ! I've never heard of your split stop issue before either. Let us know what they finally say about this.

KW said it is common for a lowered car. I don't see how they can consider it common for a car with only 5-7k on it. Oh well.

Having to through the mothership KW for replacement parts. KW USA has been worthless. Customer service is virtually non-existant.

Would I buy KW again? Probably not, just because getting support for them is so hard.

Thanks for the direction. These were helpful. I can't believe the difficulties with KW's service and product. Seems like something is messed up there.

Thanks Blackjack! Will avoid KW until proven to be more reliable and more responsive. This whole thread is just another great thing about this forum!

My unbiased review of AMR Engineering and their coilovers - V6 Performance.net Forums

AMR Engineering | Product Details

I don't know if they have any for G37 2008 or newer.

He also offers LIFETIME WARRANTY on his coilovers.
