He really did.

Changing brake pads on these cars makes me never want to change brake pads on any other car.

My suggestion for the coilovers is this: Don't use them in winter. The only cars you see with pristine coilovers are track only cars, or those that never see inclement weather. Mine were trashed after just one winter, a second winter was the end of them.

I think that's a good call. The KW v3's come with stainless bodies but that may only mean they last one more Winter than other coils. I figure that coils have to be pulled and serviced every few years anyway so if mine need to be replaced every 3yrs then so be it. These cars have so may wear items, what's the difference?
