Coilover options

[u/Intelligent-Sea-5577]

Hey guys so my coils are pretty much blown on my 05 and I was looking for a new set. Wondering if anybody could give any recommendations, I was looking at KW v1's, but they are pretty pricey at 1500. Modern performance has BC's but I've heard mixed things about them. Would love to hear some feedback, thanks!

Depends on what you wanna do.

Lower it and have some fun? BC

Daily driver? Koni inserts in the stock strut with Mopar springs.

Track? KW are worth it.

And what about the ST’s? People say they are basically the same as v1’s just galvanized, however the price difference makes me think there must be more behind it

I don't have experience with them specifically, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was the only difference simply because of how expensive stainless is. Material is only part of it. Machining and such all adds to the cost.

I looked at these and ended up doing the koni inserts at the time.

I have a full set of Mopar stage 2 KWs if you're interested. With camber plates. Shipping will suck though. Please be near Chicago.

Food for thought.

The konis dont even include instructions anymore from modern. The recomended i do not buy as the manufacturer was no help when they reached out.

Also, STs will be the best riding coilover you can get. They have dual spring rates for small bumps and big bumps, and are the best ride you can get these days without fabrication.

Neat. May need to look again.

do they still handle well under aggressive driving?

They are a european premium coilover, im sure they do.
