def will be on stock suspension till i save up for an air setup. a lot of my friends run air and they love it. Plus, I just love the "psshhhh" sound. Music to my ears.
I think what you mean to say is Coilovers are Superior for competitive track and Air suspension is superior for daily use on public roads. Potholes and speed bumps are not exclusive to where you live. There's also steep driveways and inclines . Turning these daily obstacles into non factors is where air suspension is superior. It's versatility on the fly. I run both static and air suspension. Each of them serve a purpose and at the end of the day your setup depends greatly on what you plan to do with your vehicle.
@@blkeclipsel2400 what I meant is static is superior, but bags may be needed depending on your circumstances. And yes, maybe there's speed bumps and potholes where you live, but you've probably never seen roads so poorly maintained as the ones in my country, we were done dirty:(
@@sethwell2552 basically converts your coilovers to “bags” except it’s not a bag it’s an air cup it goes on top of your coilovers so when you’re driving you’re on coils with the static feeling but when there’s speed bumps you hit a switch on your front goes up about 2 inches and you can clear them a lot easier, kits come with air tank compressor and so on, it’s not recommended to drive “aired up” because it’ll be super bumpy and could damage the cup system itself
I think by spring time. I'll be having an air bag suspension installed for two reasons. The cool factor of course, and also to prevent someone from sliding a jack under my truck while I'm sleeping and stealing my wheels or catalytic converter. As a young kid in the 90s, I've always dreamt of having hydraulics to show off. But I knew a guy who had hydraulics and man that's a really uncomfortable ride. I think air bags would give me all that I want.
I've been running Fortune Autos on my car and I've absolutely loved them, but when I get my next car, I'm kinda leaning towards air just because it's cool and different. Plus the alley to my driveway is dummy steep and I scrape almost every time.
Sounds like air is a no brainer for you good sir. Get airlift 3p or 3h! Worth every penny. I’m thinking about getting it for my daily now. Had it on my 370z for 4 years now, no issues no problems.
@@finnilrebna348 that's what I was thinking. I'm leaning towards the 3h because of the cool auto height stuff when you fire the car up. Either way, I think it'll be fun to do air on my next car.
@@Paper.Power.Politics they're fantastic! Very well built and a lot of adjustment available on them. Just overall a well rounded coilover that you can really rely on.
@@richgrassmann2009 sweet i noticed they also do custom spec! I’m looking for something I can adjust to I can go back and fourth from street/drag set up and track set up
That was probably the best explanation I have ever heard, you seem to have quite the passion for all of this. I think I'll be trying your company on my next project.
@@Prestiged_peckthe greatest benefit of air suspension is not having to drag ass while driving. Air suspension can be factory height, lower than factory height, higher than factory height and slammed when parked. All at the push of the button real time. There are 5 height preset options along with the option to adjust each corner manually. The only suspension that forces someone to drag ass is coilovers. Until you lift the car and remove each wheel to adjust .
I have both bags and coils, and I personally prefer bags because it feels like your riding on clouds. But these bc coils on my accord are the best I love them and recommend them to everyone!
@@demetriixx9964maintenance cost is next to nothing if you buy the correct maintenance components with the kit. Smc check valve with the ability to disassemble and clean yourself ($25.00). Electric tank drain kit. ($65.00) Water trap (from $25.00 to $55.00) Maintenance itself is basically free afterwards unless something goes out or gets damaged from being installed incorrectly. Maintenance mainly consists of purging water from your tank and keeping your system dry. With the electric drain kit all you have to do is push a button. I've had airlift on my daily driver for 2 summers and 2 winters and the only thing I've had to do is disassemble and clean my smc check valves as they can eventually seize. Took me 30 minutes and only had to do once so far. I also had to reconfigure the system which takes maybe 5 minutes while on a flat surface. Other than that I personally chose to hose down my bags every time I wash my car.
Dude s @demetriixx9964 how do you think threads on coil overs are gonna fair in those same conditions? In those conditions I would just run nice static non-coilover setup like some B8's or something. You can try to clean coat your coils when you first get em and paint the the threads up with anti-sieze but you will absolutely loose that battle, just a question of how fast.
As a reminder, and as stated in the video, heavy duty trucks like long haul tractor/trailer's, firefighter trucks/engines, etc. all run air suspension. Even driving in the northern cold in winter. You'll be fine with basic maintenance, clearing out the condensation from time to time, etc. I would argue they fare better in winter. Because if you're driving this in the winter and snow it's not a garage queen or tack day whip. I had Airlift system (3/8" dual pump) and winter i had zero issues. In fact the winter and salt seemed to affect my KW V3 worse - at least on surface areas. Of course YMMV
I've been running airlift in my mk1 TT (same kit that goes in R32 Golf) for a year now and still to this day I'm in love with it, just the convenience of it is incredible. I live in a very snowy place in the winter and the bags allows me to actually use the car, as long as you said... install is key, that's it... mostly. I just ordered some wheels from you guys to match the car (and some nice tires), cant wait. Though I've never done coilovers, I have done lowering springs, and I mean.... it's not the same but you get what you paid for and I was happy with them.
I live in Pennsylvania where the roads are shit and it snowy and icy half the year. After watching this I'm leaning towards financing some bags from you guys so i can get through the snow and still have a lowered car. I'll probably tory to find a shop to install it for me so that everything is routed good and the tanks looks good in the trunk.
Air every day of the week. My G37 is on Airlift 3p and I love it. The only advise I have is don’t buy used. Lots of people like to lie about the condition of used air suspension
Most definitely the air cups. You get your car lookin mint, and able to go over bumps, and your still gucci if the bag portion goes out. It don't get much better than that.
It depends heavily on what your budget and build is. What ppl fail to do is being informed about what they are getting themselves into. It's more than just slapping on a set of coilovers or air suspension on your car. That's where ppl form the wrong idea about the product and then start to be biased about the product. There is alot of wrong information out there and on the web. It's up to the person weather they can differentiate whats truth or false. #getinformed
So say if I want to get suspension on my car , but it’s a street car and I’ll probably want to hit the track , and the strip. So say I use the car for different things including maybe drifting. How would I be able to go back and fourth through set ups? Or do I have to set up for one specific type of driving? I want to be able to do drag , or go to the track. So what would you recommend?
@@TheErik1119 I definitely will!! Building a 1000whp mustang ecoboost for street and drag , but also want to be able To take to track and also maybe drifting. So I want adjustable everything to do that if it’s possible.
Great video. In the offroad world, I see lot of critics on the new air suspension of the Defender, what’s your take on this? One think I think I understood is that when you’re in offroad height, the suspension is stiffer, which doesn’t seem a good idea.
I drive for daily use not performance. I'd just want the lowered look and comfort. That in mind that last one you mentioned looks ideal. Any more info on them or maybe a list of other brands that make something similar? Haven't lowered my car yet but when it comes time to change the shocks I definitely want to upgrade to a good coilover or just a lower suspension setup
@@djhero0071 true, but the stock suspension on my car has a lot of body roll, they are too soft. Also lowering springs may not always be a great option, because it can mess with the alignment of the wheels and cause unexpected tire wear. Which I'd like to avoid as much as resonably possible
I absolutely hate scraping so I am an air guy through and through, got the airlift performance 3p kit which i saved up for donkey years for and it is more than worth it.
Just curious if anyone has run or is currently running Gecko Racing Coilovers. Looking at them for my 95 Mustang Gt but haven't seen very many reviews or many running them on their ride. They are right around the $900 price point so they don't seem to be built cheap. Just wish I knew more about them before I pull the trigger on purchasing.
I would choose air cups. I have a Hyundai Accent and I like this car. There is only one problem with it. It's not high enough. Sometimes I need to drive through some rough terrain and I don't want to hit the bottom of my car against rocks and dirt. So I would like to have the possibility to drive on coil overs when doing the high way and drive on air when doing the woods.
I had a airlift kit on my 11 mustang gt and had it on a month and went back to coil overs , bags are nice but in my opinion there just not worth the money
@@seanlovi8798 Coilovers> Bags I’ve Had Both Bags Are For Looks That’s It You Want Reliability Performance And Comfort Go Coils 🔥 I’m Only Rocking Bags On My F80 For Shows And Because I Don’t Daily Drive It Otherwise I’ll Be On Coils
KW has a Hydraulic Lift system for their coilovers, but they run about $4000 to $6500 dollars for a complete kit depending if you do front or front+rear axles.
The air shock absorber will help you automatically recognize that when you encounter a bumpy road, it will automatically raise the height of the car so that the car can drive better.
COILS.... Bags are for show. Coils are for go..!! Lighter weight, better adjustability. Bags do have a cool factor, but dont belong on anything with performance intentions if you ask me.
I’ve got some racelands on my mk5 they work well for my purposes, handles and looks better. My buddy has bags on his mk4 the car want lift up rn lol#Maine winter
I just bought a 95 Del Sol that has TruHart bags with AirLift management and it rides absolutely horrible. I feel every pebble and it’s too low to take anywhere. Maybe it’s not setup correctly - I don’t know, but it makes me want to rip it all out.
Always Air if you can afford it...but that's the only reason. Air is dope AF cause you can lower it after you park but MAN it's expensive for what basically amounts to adjustable aesthetics.
I have a Frs and was wondering if Godspeed Coils were good/reliable , I saw that they were cheap and came with everything a expensive coil would have , any thoughts on it/info about Godspeed
DS would be a worthwhile upgrade as we can tell with that swap you do a fair bit of spirited driving. The BRs a great do it all option, but the DS will offer some more adjustment and a bit of of that track car feel you’re looking for in the twisties
I ran air suspension on my car for about 6 months….the only time I enjoyed it was when it was air down and it was parked😂 other than that the ride was horrible no matter what!
you sure you werent running too much psi in the bags? i got a vw wagon with bags and its like butter on smooth roads lol some bumpy roads i feel feedback but i dialed in the perfect psi to where its like what i would feel when i ran coils
@@error_displaying_name yeah I was doing anything from around 30-45 all around to see if I can try to get the best as I could but no matter what it was a rough ride! Unfortunately I live in the city and nothing but crappy roads.. I had it on my fiesta st but probably didn’t help that the car only weighs 2700lbs 🤔 that’s probably could be the cause since the car is so light
wars have been waged over this choice . . . and the winner is ....... wtf ever u like in your car as its your whip so enjoy it ... peace n love to all my automotive brethren build on stay safe and keep it radical l8
Bruh!!! Fortune auto with air hybrid!!!🤯 I’m on lowering springs on my 2013 c250 rn but was already looking at the fortune auto 500 down the line. But now I’m curious is the 500 serious available with that air cup set up??🤔 I will definitely be going for those
Just the video i was looking for. Was finding dated videos all over youtube about air suspension and wanted something more recent and you guys delivered perfectly.
Iv never had anything on air but my friends that have air always have problems with it xD. Iv never had any issues with hks, bc racing or fortune auto coils ;)
wow thats pretty cool.Btw,we are a manufacturer specializing in providing auto parts for luxury car brands,including mercedes,,our main products are air shock absorbers and sth like that,fully new made in China
To bad no one aside from Godspeed make aftermarket suspension for my daily. I daily a 2009 Toyota Venza awd and I specify awd because the fwd venzas have different rear suspension and there are a lot of options for coilovers for a fwd venza. Even worse still though if you input your make and model on fitments website under Toyota they don’t even have venza as an option for model. And if you think you can try to cheat lol and look for highlander suspension because I’m pretty sure they’re the same or super close at least you can only find fwd highlander suspension which like the venzas are different then the awd ones. So if you drive a venza your basically stuck driving a grocery getter at least mines the v6 with decent power and you can get some performance mods for that engine
I've been thinking about air suspension for mi fk7 civic cuz I daily it but I also like to drive fast on weekends, but some friends told me that people they know that they're running on bags can't really drive fast cuz suspension isn't stiff... idk what to do
I was on the wall of which to go to but chose air after a hitting a broken concrete chunk on the road, had I been static it could have cost me my whole bumper and lip
Sorry… Newbie question… I’d like a lowered Daily/Band hauler… I want to murder out a Ecoboost Ford Flex with air-ride suspension so I can lower it, my question is with the heavy weight will the raising and lowering suspension break under the added heavy weight with large band equipment??? And would I be able to drive it lowered with band equipment in the back???
They make qaulity bags now that replace the springs on coilover setups so you can have all of the perks of something like the BC Racing DS coilovers while having the perks of air as well. We finally live in a world where we can have both options simultaneously without sacrificing major befinits of either setup
I drive nearly 150 miles a day so coilovers are what I use on my is250 and Mazdaspeed 3, there is a reason and it’s not because I don’t like air suspension it’s just that I had air suspension on my is250 and one of them popped and it left me stranded 65 miles away from my house and yea I guess you could say it was my fault I didn’t set them up right or something along those lines but just knowing that coilovers are 1. Easier and cheaper to replace if something happens and 2. Just as good as air suspension if you have dampening and ride height etc. setup correctly, it’s just easier for someone like me to run coilovers. Thank you everyone for listening to my Ted talk
Idc about the price air bags besides money is perfect epecialy for daily and me a guy that drives my car absolutely everywhere of there is dirt with minor bumps and potholes air up you get yo the canyons heading home air out beautiful I just want the best ones you recommend but for sure not the most expensive? I drive civic si 2022
I went from springs, didn’t lower it enough, opted for adjustable control arms, low enough but rides like shit. Decided to purchase 1500$ coilovers, front rode great, but since rear has a solid axle it still rides like shit. Called it a day and ordered an air lift kit. Take it from me just save the extra 500-700$ for the air bag kit 😞
I understand the need for it, but... forgive me if it might be a stupid question, I drive through an old logging road on a lifted corolla daily as the logging road is my driveway, it gets worse mileage with its lift still far better than any suv but some days you need it to get through due to mud, rocks, etc etc. are there like air LIFTS? like not for dropping the car, but for lifting it above stock when you need it, like a coilover plus a airbag on top? I know that there are these for trucks, but anyone know of any company that makes them for sedans, or are they a niche thing? I suppose what I mean is there is a market for lowered air ride sedans, but anyone know of any for lifted air ride sedans or are they all like stock or lower?
I’m getting a 1993 190e 1.8 for my first project car wanted to know what kind of air suspension set up I should go for, want to ride low but there are a lot of road bumps in the UK.
Glad you mention that they could handle hard driving. I have a Silverado that I dropped. Springs/spindles. Overall like it but rode in a Tahoe with bags and liked the way it felt. I was always worried about bag issues because had a few buddy’s going through bags every 6 months or so. Never wanted to be stranded. Their bag issues were happening in early 2000s so I’m sure it’s been improved. Still 50/50 on the idea but definitely good to hear
Hey there! So i did a quick search on our page and this is what I came up with: www.fitmentindustries.com/store/suspension?sort=instock&year=2005&make=Ford&model=Focus&trim=ZX3&saleToggle=0&qdToggle=0 We have various options for the ZX3 and depending on what you would like to spend! KW's are definitely on the higher end for smooth and adjustability, but Megan Racing are also a great choice. Hope this helps! - Edgar

COILS.... Bags are for show. Coils are for go..!! Lighter weight, better adjustability. Bags do have a cool factor, but dont belong on anything with performance intentions if you ask me.
Very good 😊 video for everyone , thanks brother
Dam I am shopping for a kit and I like that u said the choice bi torture that has both
I’ve got some racelands on my mk5 they work well for my purposes, handles and looks better. My buddy has bags on his mk4 the car want lift up rn lol#Maine winter
I just bought a 95 Del Sol that has TruHart bags with AirLift management and it rides absolutely horrible. I feel every pebble and it’s too low to take anywhere. Maybe it’s not setup correctly - I don’t know, but it makes me want to rip it all out.
How about a video comparison on cut spring's vs bag's?
There is no comparison, cut springs are dog water and air suspension is VOSS
Myself, I'll be going air because of the ability to air up crossing rough terrain and still lay frame at a show.
Bags in the winter are, same with water-meth injection systems. Been in -20 no problems.
Always Air if you can afford it...but that's the only reason. Air is dope AF cause you can lower it after you park but MAN it's expensive for what basically amounts to adjustable aesthetics.
My pockets cry everytime i air out my S8, but it was well worth it. -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries That's the beauty of it, it's the sound of you're wallet made when you bought 'em.
pssssss....empty. lol
Take pride in your work; versus just “getting it done.”
I have a Frs and was wondering if Godspeed Coils were good/reliable , I saw that they were cheap and came with everything a expensive coil would have , any thoughts on it/info about Godspeed
Gonna be running BC coilovers BR series with swift spring upgrade. Or just go the DS series. I love canyon driving
On what car? 🤔
@@bugs8054 k20 swapped honda fit
DS would be a worthwhile upgrade as we can tell with that swap you do a fair bit of spirited driving. The BRs a great do it all option, but the DS will offer some more adjustment and a bit of of that track car feel you’re looking for in the twisties
Why haven’t u guys did a video on VIP modular wheels ??
I ran air suspension on my car for about 6 months….the only time I enjoyed it was when it was air down and it was parked😂 other than that the ride was horrible no matter what!
you sure you werent running too much psi in the bags? i got a vw wagon with bags and its like butter on smooth roads lol some bumpy roads i feel feedback but i dialed in the perfect psi to where its like what i would feel when i ran coils
@@error_displaying_name yeah I was doing anything from around 30-45 all around to see if I can try to get the best as I could but no matter what it was a rough ride! Unfortunately I live in the city and nothing but crappy roads..
I had it on my fiesta st but probably didn’t help that the car only weighs 2700lbs 🤔 that’s probably could be the cause since the car is so light
wars have been waged over this choice . . . and the winner is ....... wtf ever u like in your car as its your whip so enjoy it ... peace n love to all my automotive brethren build on stay safe and keep it radical l8
Coils only! Shit gets too cold here
Bruh!!! Fortune auto with air hybrid!!!🤯 I’m on lowering springs on my 2013 c250 rn but was already looking at the fortune auto 500 down the line. But now I’m curious is the 500 serious available with that air cup set up??🤔 I will definitely be going for those
Fortune no longer sells the air cup setup. I just got off the phone with them a couple days ago.
Please do a video on the Nissan NX2000
I wanna eventually be on bags because I already scrape on driveways at the stock height lol
Just the video i was looking for. Was finding dated videos all over youtube about air suspension and wanted something more recent and you guys delivered perfectly.
What happened to Driver to Driver?????????????
Cups for a bit more versatility.
Iv never had anything on air but my friends that have air always have problems with it xD. Iv never had any issues with hks, bc racing or fortune auto coils ;)
If you're gonna leave a bit of clearance, coils, if you're wanting to slam it underneath the pavement, air ride.
Coils because I just recently got some bc coils and was easy to install all on my own swear by them 👍🏽🙌🏽
Who needs bags, in my clapped out civic I'm on washers and I Leroy Jenkins potholes and bumps
coilovers all day, weight reduction bro!
Day 3 of asking for a “So You Want…” or “What Fits…” for the S197 Mustangs
"Air out for the peasants..."😂🤣😅
Definitely going bags on my type r they will be installed next week 😊
Ive wanted air for years. But between price, having a unique car and ridiculous aussie laws. Aint ever happened
Air bc in the small town of silvertukey (silverton) lowered cars have maybe 2 roads they can drive on and air allows me to get around more easily
Coils are much better for hitting the canyons and track
Definitely gonna buy a airbag set up.I just need to get more information.As I want the best I could find for my mercedes c l five hundred
wow thats pretty cool.Btw,we are a manufacturer specializing in providing auto parts for luxury car brands,including mercedes,,our main products are air shock absorbers and sth like that,fully new made in China
Day 303 of asking for a "So you want a nissan juke"
"You air-out for the peasants" lmfao
Just cut the springs, easy.
To bad no one aside from Godspeed make aftermarket suspension for my daily. I daily a 2009 Toyota Venza awd and I specify awd because the fwd venzas have different rear suspension and there are a lot of options for coilovers for a fwd venza. Even worse still though if you input your make and model on fitments website under Toyota they don’t even have venza as an option for model. And if you think you can try to cheat lol and look for highlander suspension because I’m pretty sure they’re the same or super close at least you can only find fwd highlander suspension which like the venzas are different then the awd ones. So if you drive a venza your basically stuck driving a grocery getter at least mines the v6 with decent power and you can get some performance mods for that engine
I've been thinking about air suspension for mi fk7 civic cuz I daily it but I also like to drive fast on weekends, but some friends told me that people they know that they're running on bags can't really drive fast cuz suspension isn't stiff... idk what to do
Get air cups then fam 🤘
I was on the wall of which to go to but chose air after a hitting a broken concrete chunk on the road, had I been static it could have cost me my whole bumper and lip
U know I don't know what I had in my colbalt ss supercharger 10 years ago but it had a hydrolic sound when it went over a bump. What is that?
1 like = 5 push ups, can't afford a breaker bar so yeah...
Waiting for the 5 pushups now... - Edgar
Sorry… Newbie question… I’d like a lowered Daily/Band hauler… I want to murder out a Ecoboost Ford Flex with air-ride suspension so I can lower it, my question is with the heavy weight will the raising and lowering suspension break under the added heavy weight with large band equipment??? And would I be able to drive it lowered with band equipment in the back???
You should be just fine! You’ll be able to adjust the pressure in the rear if you have something heavier back there!
I want bags because my driveway is one of the 85 degree driveways.
The fortune autos sound interesting, thanks for pointing them out.
They make qaulity bags now that replace the springs on coilover setups so you can have all of the perks of something like the BC Racing DS coilovers while having the perks of air as well. We finally live in a world where we can have both options simultaneously without sacrificing major befinits of either setup
I drive nearly 150 miles a day so coilovers are what I use on my is250 and Mazdaspeed 3, there is a reason and it’s not because I don’t like air suspension it’s just that I had air suspension on my is250 and one of them popped and it left me stranded 65 miles away from my house and yea I guess you could say it was my fault I didn’t set them up right or something along those lines but just knowing that coilovers are 1. Easier and cheaper to replace if something happens and 2. Just as good as air suspension if you have dampening and ride height etc. setup correctly, it’s just easier for someone like me to run coilovers.
Thank you everyone for listening to my Ted talk
Idc about the price air bags besides money is perfect epecialy for daily and me a guy that drives my car absolutely everywhere of there is dirt with minor bumps and potholes air up you get yo the canyons heading home air out beautiful I just want the best ones you recommend but for sure not the most expensive? I drive civic si 2022
Air Lift Performance all the way!
I’m stuck between the air suspension and the air coil system
Both are great!
I went from springs, didn’t lower it enough, opted for adjustable control arms, low enough but rides like shit. Decided to purchase 1500$ coilovers, front rode great, but since rear has a solid axle it still rides like shit. Called it a day and ordered an air lift kit. Take it from me just save the extra 500-700$ for the air bag kit 😞
Air suspension or coilover for my 2019 Audi A6 2.0 T
Air suspension fam
I understand the need for it, but... forgive me if it might be a stupid question, I drive through an old logging road on a lifted corolla daily as the logging road is my driveway, it gets worse mileage with its lift still far better than any suv but some days you need it to get through due to mud, rocks, etc etc. are there like air LIFTS? like not for dropping the car, but for lifting it above stock when you need it, like a coilover plus a airbag on top? I know that there are these for trucks, but anyone know of any company that makes them for sedans, or are they a niche thing? I suppose what I mean is there is a market for lowered air ride sedans, but anyone know of any for lifted air ride sedans or are they all like stock or lower?
Yea I'm going Air for the Buff Horse, thanks for the info
I had one question to touch apon. What will happen if you ride with the aircups up and not down to your ride set height ?
Coils! would be interested in aircups after seeing some reviews on them
I’m getting a 1993 190e 1.8 for my first project car wanted to know what kind of air suspension set up I should go for, want to ride low but there are a lot of road bumps in the UK.
Air suspension is a good idea so you’re aired up
Iam looking to get wheels and tires how do I know what size and offset I need
Check out our gallery for some info on what will fit your car! - fitmentindustries.com/gallery
When I sell my lincoln for a newer tlx a spec v6 it'll be coilovers
Any opinions on FV coilovers? They seem to have some of the same options as the 2 brands you've brought up (BC and FORTUNE)
I'll be honest, I don't have much experience with FV so I can't give an accurate opinion on them
Glad you mention that they could handle hard driving. I have a Silverado that I dropped. Springs/spindles. Overall like it but rode in a Tahoe with bags and liked the way it felt. I was always worried about bag issues because had a few buddy’s going through bags every 6 months or so. Never wanted to be stranded. Their bag issues were happening in early 2000s so I’m sure it’s been improved. Still 50/50 on the idea but definitely good to hear
I still don't know what coils fit my 05 ZX3 focus and I want to know what is a good price range to start from to search.
Hey there! So i did a quick search on our page and this is what I came up with:
www.fitmentindustries.com/store/suspension?sort=instock&year=2005&make=Ford&model=Focus&trim=ZX3&saleToggle=0&qdToggle=0
We have various options for the ZX3 and depending on what you would like to spend! KW's are definitely on the higher end for smooth and adjustability, but Megan Racing are also a great choice. Hope this helps! - Edgar
