Mate. KW V3s great product and wide range of adjustability on the shocks from comfortable on the street to firm for the track.

Downside is the absolutely SHIT local (over east) service back up from the KW dealer when they need repairs. Be warned.

Noted, thanks mate. I think I read a thread on here a while back about some suspension company being shit over East. Can't remember whether it was KW or not though. Someone on here had bought some and they broke or were faulty and had a right shit fight to get them replaced/repaired.

It was only the 1 rear strut that needed repair and yes it was sorted in the end and up to now seems ok. It was just a very bad experience dealing with the KW guy over East and even KW Germany weren't that interested in my complaint to them about the local support here. That was disappointing too.

Forgot to mention that being situated and involved in motorsport over east should lead to some better support/servicing.

When I was looking into getting a different set of coilovers, the MCA stood out not only on design/features but the amount of positives that were echoed on many different forums!

At least they finally got them sorted. I think if it was faulty there should be no question of send a replacement. Shame they put up a fight.
