Ohlins stuff is top drawer, a pal of mine has his own suspension tuning company that does the BSB/WSB stuff on the bikes, if the car stuff is as good it will be very interesting :happy2:

Looks like these are the ones i will be going for, But wont be getting fitted till all the other parts are purchased, i.e Bushes, Arbs, and anti-lift kit.

Just read a thread on VW TUNING MAG about these, Gives you a bit more details than my post. They will supply Front and Rear shockers only, Still looks very interesting, After getting let down with the delivery time on the KW V3s these might be the answer :confused:

I know you feel a bit let down mate but being a pioneer on any new kit disregarding the reputation that Ohlins stuff hasits downfalls.

V3 = Solid Product, thoroughly tested, fantastic performance + worth waiting for imho
