KW-V3 or not to KW-V3?

sportsman2003 · 10-15-2021, 12:27 PM

I have been going back and forth on suspension lately.
I am running stock struts and Eibach springs now.
I think the ride height is perfect actually for the roads in Cali.
The two products I have been looking at are the Koni yellow adjustable
and the KW-V3 I do not and likely will not track my Z. I do enjoy spirited
drives in the mountains near my house the roads are very twisty and fun.

I guess my question is what do you all think about the two? has anyone had both or ridden in cars with either set up? I really like the adjustability of the KW but are they going to be that much better then the Koni's to have to chase the perfect ride height?

Money is not the issue to me and I do my own work at home so labor isn't a big deal. Let me know what you guys think.

I recently installed the Hotchkis swaybars front and rear just so you all know what else I have going on suspension wise.

The KWs are better for sure

As long as you get the car corner balance and have all the SPL parts for a proper alignment the KW's will beat the Koni's hands down. Corner balancing is key..... Don't skimp or you will leave a good bit on the table in the handling department.

i would personally go with fortune auto 510, due to customizability and customer service
