same as the KW Variant I. A good unit if your primary goal is height adjustment (they are not dampening adjustable) and a budget oriented price

From reading from alot of your posts you seem to have a vast experience with the 350z suspension what would you recommend/prefer most for basicly a street/roadcourse setup.

for a budget oriented setup that is mainly street with some fun track days tossed into the mix, absolutely, would be a nice setup, and easy on the wallet (and cheaper than the KW version!)

I am thinking about buyin the tokico/tein combo from you, but can't decide to save my money and buy a coilover. Whats your opinion on these. Looks like you have alittle more adjust over the Eibachs

the BC's are also a good value per dollar as well. Not quite as civil on the street as the eibach, but they do have the advantage of adjustable dampening. All comes down to your own priorities

Cheaper is not always better. KW manufactures the shocks for Eibach so quality is pristine while providing great ride and handling. Just figure out which options you would like for a coilover then go with that. I would suggest the KW Variant 2 to have adjustments of rebound. If looking to set it then forget it then get the Eibach coilovers

So the Eibach pro street and KW V1 are identical coilovers? Is there any differences in them at all?

Wow, I'm going to go back and take 3rd grade reading comprehension classes

I'm not sure if I'd need adjustable or not - I'm torn.

How do you know the shock valving and spring rates are the same? Are these numbers published?

because when I asked KW regarding this specific application, that is what they told me, and KW is the manufacturer of Eibach's coilovers

You want adjust ability. You dial in the suspension to your liking, then change it again later on if you want.
