Were the KW front struts inverted?

 

KW V3s are not inverted. Also, due to their rather unique approach, they have an external canister on the side at the bottom, even though they are twin-tubes.

 

Rob's expience not withstanding, I have liked my KWs. Has to be said there is a variety of offerings and the V3s are on the lighter end of the spectrum.

 

I'm wondering if that played a part, being non-inverted they would have less bending strength which under rally use (tarmac/gravel) would punish them.

 

we did only tarmac, bumpy one , but nothing extra ordenary.

i know they do have a rally spec suspension, but i can not tell you honestly anyone who using them on evo's. We thought we will give a try , since it is a full tarmac, and my co-driver very first event in the rally, we were obviously wrong.

i am sure it will not happened with anyone who doesnt drive crazy fast for long on public roads. I wouldnt use it example for hill climbs and tarmac rally anymore.
Tracks and DD drag racing , autox , they are fine i am sure.
