Hey guys and girls,
Just wanted to get feedback regarding ST Coilovers as I am finally going to lower my car. I would appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks!

Go with KWV1, that's what I have and they are great. Only difference between those and ST is that KW have SS bodies. So if you live in a wet are go with ss.

Plenty of threads on this. Do your homework to what you want out of your coilovers whether you're using it as a daily, mixture of track/daily, and only track.

As the other user mentioned if you live in harsh climates you should go with SS KW's over the galvanized coilovers by ST.

I got them from RMP 2 years ago, best money I ever spent, you won't be disappointed. Don't drive my car in the winter so I can't advise you on if they rust badly or not. KW's were out of my budget which is why I didn't get them but if you have the option I would get those over the STs.

I had them on my STI for 2 years and my E90 for about 6 months. Absolutely love them. I drove the ever loving dog shit out of my STI in the snow with no rust issues at all. Just give them a decent cleaning after each snow storm and you'll be fine. But I do agree - if you live in a climate where it snows a lot, you might want to consider the KW V1s instead. It only snows a handful of times each year in Maryland so rust is not a big deal for me.
