since xmas i have been saving up to get some coil overs fitted,after a bit of research i picked the kw v1 because of good reviews and also they are stainless steel and don't rust like some others...
my question is ......is thier a cheaper alternative but most important don't rust..
-
Eibach pro-street-s are basially the same but abouty 50 quid cheaper I think. The eibach uses KW dampers.

eibach are made by KW

Just remember that the bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Eibachs aren't cheap, maybe save £100 over KW1, oh and rust is only an issue if you can't be arsed looking after them. :happy2:
I have the Eibachs and recommend them highly.

with me its not a issue with not looking after them..its getting the time to look after them,with 4 kids to look after :smiley:if its £100 difference then i will go for the kw ones

Why not Eibachs then, as they are stainless too?

^ I wondered that too, they're basically a KW v1 with Eibach's own spring... and they're hardly unknown for producing quality in that dept.
Not sure they're as great value as they were though, with the price increases recently? But deffo not to be sniffed at.
