About to buy KW V1's... opinions?
« on: October 18, 2011, 05:36:04 pm »
Just spoken to AMD Essex about suspension upgrades and was recommended KW V1, which are £780, but include fitting and alignment for free (usually £240+VAT!)

I have driven a Clio 197 with them on before and it was amazing, but has anyone tried them on a Golf please?  Opinions?

Thanks,

Russ.

I'm currently running KW V1's on my GTI and the ride is firmer than stock but not too harsh, mine is lowered 40mm with stretched tyres tho so this obviously makes it a bit firmer still  :laugh:

Would definitely recommend a set of these and at £780 fitted that's a decent price  :happy2:

They are my other option (well B8's added to my Sportlines) but the free fitting at AMD really appeals to me

Id choose the b12s personally over V1.  But obviously the V2 or V3s over the B12 purely on adjustability
