So ive got the chance at a set of KW coilovers for the BB4, was woundering if anyone has used these?

Not to be confused with K-sports which I have a set of which are blown and impossible to get repaired :cry:
these look totally different with compensator springs etc..

Not sure but KW also seem to be a UK company (correct me if im wrong) so getting them refurbed should be a yes :D

Also im looking at getting a traction bar for my bb4, I can find the innovative ones for sale but I see some with a rose jointed front engine mount, anyone know where they are for sale?

any input appreciated..

KW for Prelude?? Hmm never heard about them, but if they do that gonna be rare item. From my know lage KW is German company producing really good suspension usaly for VW Group cars and BMW's, so it is surprising me that you find one for Bb4

RE: traction bar. The ones with the front engine mount / torque bar is from http://www.explicitspeedperformance.net/ There are a lot of dudes not happy with the service of this guy. Apparently he takes ages to make things. I found him to be much more expensive than Innovative Mounts. If you get a traction bar is it is recommended you get stiffer engine mounts, especially with the Innovative Mounts traction bar.

Cheers @Merlin..
his work seems to have been on some reputable cars, suppose thats why he charges so much.
