We sell the KW's and STs. But our V2's and V3's are not the off the shelf KW's as ours are the TSW spec with matched linear springs to be perfect and have the highest performance on the MINI.
Otherwise trying to find a set of coilovers in that price range, not from China just isn't going to happen.

What about the Megan coilovers? Both Euro sppec and EZ street are under $1000, and I hear god things about them. I plan on getting them when I have the cash.

AP Coilovers - They cost about $700 and they're great. One of the cars from the mini club here in Dubai run on these and they're very decent. And for the price, it's a steal!

I'm planning on getting these in a months time too!

They're available at http://www.lowerks.com

Disregard my post, I didn't realize Megan is a Chinese company, so that rules them out for you.

Just curious, why do you specifically not want them to be Chinese? I know there are some fishy products out there, but Megan seems to be a good option by all reports.
