Black VR6,Need advice,broken KW coilover

[VR6pitcrew]

The car has KW variant 2 coilovers all round,the drivers side front is damaged and cannot be repaired. Does anyone know where i can get one or a matching pair? If not, what would you recommend to go with the KW v2 on rear?

[schoona]

Not sure if you can by pairs of coils.... but I'm pretty sure performalink in NZ or inmotive (sp??) would be able to help you out

[Water Boy]

Can you give us a bit more info on the problem. Some pictures etc...

Have yop had the shock looked at by an expert?

BTW is this on the black or silver VR6?

[VR6pitcrew]

Thanks schoona, i will check out your advice and let you know how i get on

[VR6pitcrew]

The damage is on the black VR6, and yes it has been checked out by repairers of suspension systems

[Stephy]

Get rid of the coils all together and BAG IT!!!!!!!!!

If the shock has been checked out by a professional and deemed unpairable you have a few things to decide. Do you just want the car low or do you want to have it set up for motorsport.

Also remember most Mk3 shocks come as a set of four so find just a set of fronts maybe hard.

Do you have a photo of the busted shock?

Shouldn't it be under warranty? Or did it break due to over-use?

I'd love to know how you managed to break a KW v2, coz thats what I've got!

They're not really motorsport coilovers btw, they're just rather nice streetable/odd trackday coils. KW v3 or higher is the motorsport stuff and that is mega dollars.
