What's the difference between the KW3's and the KW3 Robispec? Just spring rates?
Or am I confused??

The Gerrard Spec Ohlins are revalved and it was based off of extensive testing and shock dyno work. They are legit. They are the R/T models which were replaced by the DFV. The R/T's had better internals and were able to be rebuilt using race internals. Although they are not independently adjustable Paul spent over a year revalving until they got the balance of compression vs rebound dialed in so you don't have to. Spring rates should be 450lb/550 lb or in that area, but those don't look like the springs Paul used, I think he used blue Hypercoils. Maybe ask Robispec to put 8k/10K on them, they have springs just laying around. Send a PM to Chronohunter and see if there is a way to verify they were revalved by Joe, the guy who did the rebuilds.

Robi's version of the KW's have different internals, use different oil, and are valved different then the off the shelf KW V3's. You can also pick your spring rates with Robi's, where the off-the shelfs come with horrible rates (higher in the front). Also the KW's don't come with camber plates.

When I got my stuff 2 years ago I wanted Paul Gerrards Ohlins, but Ohlins were totally out of stock in the USA for nearly a year. Nobody had them to sell. Paul started working with JRZ at that point and that was out of my budget for sure. So I ended up getting Robis KW's because I had no other options

I wish you were not deaf some times!

I am saying... I do not need coil overs because I will never race, like time attack, auto-x.

I will only drag race, so i do not need them.


and yes you should let me drive your car
