Cannot make up my mind! KW V2 or V3?!

If you're changing them, may as well do the rears too. They receive the same amount of punishment. Maybe a bit less due to the engine being at the front I guess...

I don't have much experience with coilovers in Golfs but I did have them in my old SX Corolla and hated them, found them way too hard for normal road use. Having said this the KWs may be a different kettle of fish altogether, no intention of raining on your parade

kw is like some sort of disease. why don't you try something different?

can someone let me ride in their kw, I want to get infected aswell.

Louis gave me a ride in his vr6 with h & R coils. Despite the massive grin on my face and soiled seats, the feel was way better than my springs + shocks combo. Plus his rear was literally touching the pavement

I'm thinking of eibach's with koni yellows... Was looking at the last editions, but wont bother with my 2.slow. Matty, I reckon you should go with the last editions and go some other work as well, just my 2c.

V3's are for fine tuned competition use, if it isnt a dedicated track car dont bother with'em imo. The V2's would are perfect for ease of adjustability when flicking between street n track . . . i'd put the extra cash elswhere, but if wanna spend up your mula, then spend ma friend! and give us all a review on the V3's

I'm pretty happy with the Eibach/Bilstein combo, needs swaybars tho, hmm maybe one day.

The other night I thought about the eibach/koni or eibach/bilstein combos, purely out of bang for buck and that I didnt want to spent thousands of dollars and then hate the setup a week later.

Now... I've more or less settled on the V2's though.

cOS's sentiment is an interesting one though. KW is without a doubt flavour of the month. Bilstein, H&R, Koni etc are all fairly established but nobody seems to rave about them as much as KW. Bilstein PSS9's were my third choice though, after V2 and V3.

One mob that I didnt think about was DMS. A mate of mine has just bought $7k worth of DMS coilovers. They might not be in the car yet (ground up tarmac rally car build) but he loves em. They do make slighly cheaper 2-way adjustable coilovers, but even they seem too hardcore for what I'll be doing.

btw, Nolathane have replied with a rather terse email. No they dont to poly strut mounts and never will - so bugger off. Thanks nolathane, you can now go back to making crap for commonbores.
