Anyone in SoCal with M7 or KW V1/V2 Coilovers ?

Hey guys and girls... How is everybody doing ??

I am debating of what coilovers I should buy and I am stuck between the M7 and the KW's. I heard many good things about the M7 coils but kind of not like the fact that they are build in korea. I drive around 25k a year and I am worried about them not lasting that long.

On the other hand, the KW's look good and are made in germany which is something I LOVE, but there aren't many reviews about them.

I live in burbank (91201) and would not mind to drive a bit to get a ride in a car with V1's or M7 coilovers.

I am just looking for something that is good for canyon driving, some track days, and autocross. I mainly want something that isn't that harsh on the streets due to my injured back. Thanks alot guys.

-Arthur

Talk to Steve at SRTech in Fresno. I believe he has been running m7 coilovers on his car for at least 30,000 miles.

It would be great if they lasted twice that long.

Fresno is a tad bit too far from LA. Anybody around LA please let me know. Thanks
