    Am I Remembering This Correctly?

    So....

    I'm trying to plan some things out, and I'm not sure that I remember even correctly from when I owned an 8g.

    1.) One can use the rear suspension off of a DSM correct? (As in, a coilover for a DSM would work on an 8g in the rear?)

    2.) The only full coilovers available for an 8g are:
    -Megan
    -KSport
    -D2
    -BC
    -JIC
    -AMR

    And the only 'sport' shocks/struts are:
    -KYB AGX
    -Koni Yellow Inserts

    Tein coilovers are trash below the top of the line models (and that is well above the SS/SS-P models)

    WELL:

    I just remembered that KW makes coilovers for the 3g.

    Looks like we don't need this thread anymore. I'm in for that German quality coilover

    They're about 1900 on sale, which isn't bad for KWs. If I hadn't gone with the AMRs, I'd likely would have gone with those. They do charge extra for custom spring rates though

    I'm cool with paying a bit extra for custom rates, although I think I'll order custom rates so the shocks/struts are valved correctly and buy some swift/hyperco springs
