I know of a few people riding around on KW suspension.... looking for some thoughts... is the V3 overkill or just right for our cars?

Feedback please!!

Thanks.... Rich

V3s were fitted to my car before I bought it so I can't compare to stock, and unfortunately it was also fitted with some hopeless Toyo tires, so I quickly get fed up with the howling before taking much notice of the V3s!
I agree they're an expensive option and also look forward to others' comments.

You have a $70K car..dont consider putting an inexpensive suspension on it.

A) These things aren't cheap and B) having owned this suspension on at LEAST three, regularly tracked cars, my testimony is that you'd be hard pressed to do better. With 30,000 miles on my V3's, including several track days and cross country trips, I've had ZERO issues. You CANNOT say the same for the stock "expensive" DRC system.

I'm sure they are harsher than stock - but are they considerably harsher?

thanks for the feedback...

as KW north america will tell you, they are not a track coilover at all. They steered me away from them for my S4 (great and honest technical engineers there who really gave me the honest answers) and steered me towards a competitor actually. They do make race coilovers in the 2 and 3 -way variety that are far different then their V1-3 ones. Now if you're not tracking i'd say that the v1-3 are very nice. KW has an excellent reputation for quality, the material they use appear top notch, and they stand behind their products.

kw v3 or stasis ms are the best choices for your vehicle. If i had to choose between the 2, i'd go stasis mainly because of all the positive customer feedback after installing... 2cents

looking for something that isn't impossible to deal with under daily driving conditions but gives the car added stability during "lively" driving (always done in safe environments of course), and really gives the car that added aggressive look....

Great for daily, maybe too soft for the track, ne1?

Perhaps the KWs should be compared to the STaSIS/Ohlins SLs and not the Motorsport kit.
