Trying to knock me off for free beer hey Tony?

Mitch just my two cents worth but if I had my time again I would pay a little extra and go to John @WW for one-stop-shop-service, they do very good work. You get local warranty support and he sources his kits from Germany where most others come from North American factories - apparently they are valved differently ( EU are meant to be plusher and less harsh than US kits )

All the time I wasted driving around and fucking about with the install then having to go get it aligned afterwards I didn't end up saving that much money.

Not true - mine came ex-Germany. Only problem was I couldn't get them shipped direct from Germany to Perth - had to go GER>USA>AUS.

I saved THOU$AND$ buying direct from US when compared to local.

I'm pretty sure Burke, Carl and one other forum member (sorry can't remember who) followed my same path via Works Concepts with similar results.

On V3's or Clubsport? How can you save thousands on V3's they only cost 3k-ish? I purchased mine in Jan '13 for $2450, the next cheapest I could find at the time was Vivid racing @ $2300 shipped.

I reckon you guys may have purchased a few years ago when the prices for KW V3's used to be over 4k here?

Different market now and the dollar has dropped.

Cheers.

One last idea, Doug is a DMS dealer, why don't you speak to them about some 40mm's?
