My current set up is 20" Vossen CV3's dropped about 2" with F&R SPC camber kit. The ride is obviously much stiffer than the sport suspemsion on the G35, but still has forgiveness with small to medium type bumps. it takes cornering well but still has minor body roll with the G being a heavier car. I will eventually get strut and sway bars to tighten her up.

I would recommend the V1's to anyone who wants to DD their G (but isn't looking for track use) and have the occassinal ride on twisties to get the most out of their G without sacrificing comfort. I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase and see why KW has such a reputable brand

Thanks for the couple of reviews guys! If I go with V1s (which I am strongly considering) I will post of the first "official" review for the G37. haha!

It looked like you were ready to purchase the KWv1. I am currently undecided between the two and I was wondering what your thoughts were at the time. Tanabe seems like a good bang-for-the-buck DD coilover, but is the KW more reliable and worth the extra cost? Would you go with KWv1 today? Thanks.

Yeah, I guess I can do that. I just figured others might want to know too.

Not yet. I'll probably order them in about a month or so. They should be installed by the end of July. I'll post an update then.

I run KWv1 on my 09 Coupe. GREAT ride, and great performance. Feels MUCH better that stock with no finger gap drop. Couldnt ask for better quality and feel from a coilover setup!

Mind if I ask how much you guys paid for your V1's? I'm in the hunt for them and I'd like to get the best deal possible.
