Looks good bit of kit, is that for sale to joe public or thems and thems only :happy2:

What happened to your fsd kit btw?

....I'm sure that VWR would be more than happy to accommodate you.

Long story short (already posted lots of times) - KoniFSD dampers gone soft and going back to Koni Holland for bench testing and hopefully a new set under warranty (Greenouse has first dibs). Meanwhile as I have much faith in VWR/RacingLine, I have taken the opportunity to upgrade my suspension. I'm more inclined to exploit my car's handling and delivery of whatever power it has rather than chase the neddie numbers.

^ KW's finest: Bespoke VWR-KW V3's :happy2: 8) :happy2:

Sorry if I've missed this somewhere along the line, but what aspect of them is bespoke from a normal V3??

....Mark from VWR can answer this more accurately but because VWR have a "technical partnership" with KW Germany, they are able to specifically mix and match etc. So, I think that my spring ratings are different from the ones straight out of box on a retailer's shelf. There may be other differences but I'll have to get back to you about them.

Some of VWR's KW's have an angle engineered into the damper body.

....It depends what you want - Fast Road or Track? - Neither an off-the-shelf item. Contact Mark at VWR and discuss your needs.
