Looking to get kw v3's but would like to get an idea and if possible a ride to compare since I daily drive. I track the car a few times a year at willowsprings and buttonwillow.

Took the car stock a few weeks back to willowsprings and the rear was a bit to soft........

...you want someone to give you a ride on the track at willow to figure out if you want the v3s?

clarify?

a ride from someone won't do you any good since everyone who has V3s has different setups im assuming.

just get them! lol

Yeah, just show up this Saturday, SoCal - Centrally Located Monthly Meet, there are numbers of Z's with KW V3. Some of us have it with the sway bars so corninging will not be the same as just KW V3 installed.

FYI...my car is a daily driver and the only time I'm bother is going from the 2 South to the 5 South because the road there is VERY bumpy

While you're there, make sure to checkout Trip's brakes.

They stop on a dime!!

Looks like i'll put them on order, now just gotta find a place near me to get them installed, thoughts? Supposedly my friend told me he can get it for $1450.......... I'll make sure they are the v3's.

Any idea on install cost? Would like to get corner balanced as well.

Lou will hook you up on the installation. Alignment and corner balance would start at 250. I got mine done at West End alignment.
