Those are the 2 I would call. Honestly, no need to look elsewhere. These 2 guys are here on this forum, support our community and know our cars well. Andrew@GTWORX helped me a ton in deciding on suspension and tires. He's a wealth of knowledge. But something tells me you know this already.

Let me tell you and let me tell the whole forum, KW is a joke. They charge a whole lot for a product that is not up to the standard.
Years ago(8 years ago ) my friend (evofunk)purchased a new Mini Cooper S, he then installed a set of KW V2(the v3 weren't in the market yet), the company advertized that these KW shocks/coilovers have a chemical treatment that prevents it from rusting the threads.
They even have an advertizing by a german University in which they "tested" the coilover threads against mod, salt,snow and water and the true is that the coilover rust like no other.
The reason why I am bashin this product is because you are number 3 friend that ran into serious issues with the KW. Your coilover desintegrated, my friend's KW's had to be hammered to get it adjusted and another frieend that I have had his KW reservoir blown.
This is way too much crap for soo much money that it cost. I absolutely do not recommend or endorse these KW coilovers for their false advertizing. For soo much price and advertizing these product is an under enginneered over priced substandard product.

talked to both robi and KW..
Revalving cost:
Robi: $150/corner
KW: $125/corner
and about $200 to fix that shock
IMO... with all that crap that happened, KW is great lol
talking and getting reviews on forums is different than actually feeling how beastly your car handles on track. you gotta be in the drivers seat to appreciate them
not bashing back or anything else, but i like them and thats why Im sending them to robi to work his magic on them

Ali, I am glad you found a "cheap" source. In my opinion and fater all the KW braggin they should absolutely pay not just for the repair but also for the inconvenience plus for the false advertizing.
When I say false advertizing is not just that the coilover didn't last as adevrtized but also by lying to you advertizing a "lifetime warranty". You shouldn't have to pay nothing, this is no less than a subquality product. When are you going to see the stock suspension breaking like that.
Any how, I am glad you are getting your car fixed.

Thats not that cheap...hell Ohlins will revalve my DFV's for almost less than that. I have seen too many KW3's bend when really tracked hard...as well as their valving not be that great and twin tube construction can only go so far. Decent for a dd/weekend warrior but theirs better for the price when getting up their for motorsports imo.
