I purchased from Way Motor Works a set of KWv3 with the tsw springs and settings, Hotchkis hollow sway bar and some camber plates. After I installed them and had a shop align the car as I requested It would run with the BEST of the cars on track day in the turns. I sold my 09 jcw and awaiting delivery of my GP. Gotta see which one handles better. This set up was not for the person looking for a luxury "boat" ride, it is stiff but a real blast to drive. could use a few more HP

I was looking at a similar set up to yours on my 2013 R58...a suspension package Way has with:

TSW Springs
HSport Rear Lower Control Arms
HSport Rear adjustable Sway Bar (25.5mm Competition Hollow)

and then with a bump stop kit, staying with stock shocks though.

How's your ride now? Obviously you are adding the Konis, but how happy are you with your current (similar to my version) set up?

ST coilovers are great, I personally wanted to go with them since the Suspension Source had a good sale with Eibach camber plates for like $1,200.

But...I won't track more than once or twice a year so I will be set with the Koni Yellows/NM springs, plus they're a very good suspension replacement/upgrade!
