    Glenn, you haven't been responding to the questions on the RSX board. Can you tell me if the KW coilovers relocate the arm to reduce the bump steer in the same way that the Mugen coilovers do?

    "Bump Steer issue!
    I apologize for any delays in responding to this post. As I was away for the weekend, this has been my first opportunity to address this open question.

    It may not be apparent, but the factory rods are very long and meet deep near the middle of the firewall. As the cars are lowered, the actual angle and length impact on the rack are reduced exponentially. With this in mind, the steering arm on the KW solution has been relocated in a lower position to optimize its geometry. This clears the bump steer concern, but more importantly, ensures that the arms won

    As long as the Tein coilover springs have an inner diameter of 62-64 mm, Yes!

    Awesome, thanks Glenn. So they weigh half as much as the Mugens and only cost about $200 more. You also get height adjustability and compression/rebound adjustment. Nice.

    Well it seems that I will need this item as my oem bearings are shot:( I dont know is its the added pressure or stress that the KW's add, but I have lubed them very well, they last for a couple of month's but the proper fix must be installed. These are expensive when totaled with the cost, but EVERYONE must realize that these coilovers are AWESOME:) I love tham and I believe that everyone else that has them will agree:)

    We have incorporated camber adjustment into the housing of the coilover, but the upper mount system allows +/- 15mm of castor adjustment as well as a bearing system that was originally developed for the Porsche GT2 club racer.

    How much adjustability are we talking about? Is this true for the rears or just the fronts?
