yea sorry I was thinking BC RAM, those are the inverted monotube, the ER are the high end coilovers they make with external reservoirs... my bad for the confusion

Nope,but I did put a set in my friends car and they're nice they ride good b/c of the progressive spring and the fact that you use oem top hats for $2000 That's alot of money for what you get, my BC ER have pillow top hats,Swift racing spring(my choice of rate) independent compression and rebound w/external reservoir also revavled for the same price of KW v3.
V3 are good coliovers just everybody recommends them hence the hipe my point is there are other CO out there that are just as good and in some cases better.

You can get v3s for less than 2k.
And while they are arguably overhyped, there is good reason for it. They've got some of the best VD engineers out there working for them.

Not much less than 2 grand plus I wanted a linier spring.
They ride real good but mostly b/c it's a progressive spring.

Odd that you'd want to run linear springs with v12s.


I'd rather have predictable flex in my springs than unpredictable sidewall flex on a set of linear springs.

You know that the v12 are on my 20in wheels so there is almost no sidewall flex,plus my 18in track wheels have re-11 on them but I haven't had a chance to put them on the car with the coilovers.

Plus it is alot easier to change tires than change springs.

springs take maybe 90 minutes to swap, if you've never worked on a car before.

Tires take going someplace with the right equipment, and probably a bit longer.

90 minutes to swap then time to settle,time for alignment,I'm glad you have that kind of time to do it I don't plus I have a guy who does my tire change so it's not big deal.
