I ran them this year and loved them. Very fast on track, and smooth on the street.

Great CO's i run KW on the track and on my race cars, KW great quality and you get what u pay for. Just have someone at a track help set up any COs you buy or they are almost worthless

I've been running the KW's on my X for a few months now and I really like them... handling wise it's a night and day difference from the stock suspension and it is amazing how the car runs now, the ride isn't bad either and it just feels a little stiffer than stock but not harsh at all. Hope this help's you make your decision and good luckk...

I'm sooo tempted but I'm afraid it's going to be too much suspension for me.

KW V3's are a great CO, with great adjustability, you can change the springs all you want to get the ride to be how you like it, you shouldnt have to worry about having to much coilover.

No need for pillowball mounts...they'll work without them and you can get a decent amount of camber. I would recommend them for more serious track guys and auto-x.

How are you guys determining the proper setting for compression on the V3's?
