    Not sure if youre talking about the front or rear, but I only have the front endlinks by AWR and theyre noisy on right turns.

    Are there any coilover setups NOT on backorder?

    I just got KWs from crossover and took about 2 weeks.

    Endlink Questions

    I think you'd be happier if you went with rear bracing. Either trunk or under car. The endlinks aren't meant to stiffen up the car at all but are meant to adjust for preload.

    Best tire in the $130-$150 ea. price range?

    For the street the Sumitomo HTR ZIIIs are good tires. They ranked well on Tire Rack. Ive also tracked them 3 times and put 10k street miles. They still have decent tread on them. For the price and for the street they're great tires.

    KW Variant 1 Coilovers

    theyre linear at 400 lbs in the front with a helper spring and around 290 progressive in the rear. Yeah the stock shocks were a little scary sometimes when I hit patchy pavement.

    KW Variant 1 Coilovers

    I have the Variant 1s on my MS3. At the time H&Rs were backordered indefinitely. They still took a month of so to get. As far as riding impressions they're definitely stiffer than stock and stiffer than just doing lowering springs. Youre definitely gonna feel those 400lb/in spring rates up...

    Track Day brake pads?

    Try getting the Carbotech Bobcats for Street use and using the XP10s on the track. The compounds are compatible and you wont have loud brakes off the track.

    brakes

    Wow Ive never heard someone call the stock speed3 replacement pads Cheap! I believe they're over 200 bucks for the fronts. They're high quality pad made by Ferodo and they work well despite all the brake dust. Id definitely ride them out before replacing them with something else.

    KW vs. H&R

    You should be comparing H&R coilovers to Variant 1s. The variant 2s have adjustable rebound where the Variant 1s and H&R coils are height adjustable only. I got my variant 1s for about the same price as the H&Rs through Grip Garage. talk to them directly and see what they can do for you...

    MazdaSpeed Vs Cobb Stage 2 Suspension Kits

    I have to second ericms comments on the mazdaspeed coilover setup. I have KWs and theyre the same maker of the mazdaspeeds. The difference is the lowering range is 20mm to 50mm where the mazdaspeed is something like 7mm to 25mm. The car handles great but can be a little loud and abrupt on...

    Clunkish noise??

    I have the same issue after dropping my car on coilovers. It only happens on really sharp edged bumps i.e. sunken or raised manhole covers, construction plates, uneven freeway transitions. Im thinking its the endlinks as I had the coils themselves checked out. Let us know what you find...

    Bypass valve flex hose upgrade

    In short, yes. I have the same setup. Its as much as the SU hose but they give you three feet of it so you can make mistakes or split it with someone. It will not kink due to the wire inside it. You just have to have some high torque shears to cut it.

    Shifter Knobs

    Although the sparcos look nice. but theyre very light. Lighter than the stock knob. In fact I was shopping for one and took my stock MS3 knob in as a reference. I was told RAZO has some weighted knobs. The MOMO knobs did not feel very heavy either.
