Default I think I got a steal. And a quick tech question

Im picking up a 04 NFR AP2 for $19,500 from a private party. its about 2k under blue book and the best thing is it only has 15,000 miles. Its from the original owner who is a 40year old doctor and has all the records since day of purchase. The car has always been garaged and is in brand new condition except a small srcatch and a very light door ding. Id like to know your opinion on this.

I know im going to go with the KWv3 but I noticed none of the kits except the club kit come with pillow ball mounts. Is there any way to order these from KW or maybe another manufacturer?

I pick the car up on Wednesday. Im so stoked Ive been looking for an AP2 since about 2.5 years ago. Ill have some pics as as I get it.

what year is it?

dont get kw variant 3's. for the price, get bilstein pss9's or for even cheaper buddyclub rsd's with pillowballs. imo kw variants are over-engineered for the average joe to have on his/her car

Its an 04.

I dont like how the Pss9 kit doesnt really lower the rear end of the car and I heard that the buddyclubs are trash.

I've had great experience with the Pss9's, very good bang for your buck.

they are not even target at the same group of buyer, check out the spring rate.

someone wanting a v3 probably will not cross shopping a pss9
