Got a chance to buy a set of these, just wondering what peoples views are on them? All i can find are good things about them but just wondering how firm they are? TBH the only car ive ever been in with coilovers was a mates 306 with Vmaxx crappy ebay things which might as well be welded up. The car is used as a daily occasionally so want some comfort there still. Currenty got B4s with Eibach springs and these are nice and comfortable but could be a bit firmer when pressing on!

Cheers guys

I've got some on my track car and i'm personally happy with them, though i havent tried any others so have nothing to compare against, they are acceptable on the road too, though i dont think i'd be so keen if it was my daily driver.

Exactly this. Dunno if I'd bother paying for the inox, but if you're driving it around on the road in the wet all the time I guess it might be worth it.

I would personally pay the extra for the inox, most steel bodied coilovers i've seen have loads of corrosion after not too long. I bought mine second hand though so i couldnt really be picky over which type i got. LOL

Yeah if you're to be using them on the road then maybe consider it, but I'd possibly suggest if it's a daily driver then KWs are overkill and not the best choice.

Mine are the standard galvanised steel and they're like this after a couple of years, track + between driving only.

That's with no attempt to clean them, I'm sure they'd spruce up if you were that bothered.

*Newb question*
Whats the Inox? just different material made from?

I bought mine second hand and have done about 10k miles on the road. This is a pic from a month or so back. Gave them a wipe over with a damp cloth (no proper cleaning)

After a quick look on the KW website, looks like mine are Inox ones?

inox is the foreign word for stainless, yours do look like them, the cheaper ones are yellow Zinc plated as posted by Owain.

Stainless, stay shiny longer but don't dissipate heat as well.
