^ couldnt agree with you more, but then again, without enough people, wats the point of finding a shop :P therefore, we need to find a shop meanwhile we're trying to get everyone. any chance you can give werks a call and see what their schedule looks like?

Andros85,


If you decide to get the KW V3 go for it however let me give you an advise that the previous KW V2 versions (Purple and yellow) actually had some discrepancies despite the manufacturers flawless performance claims.

As far as I personally witnessed:

1) Some of them has been known to leak(A known person removed his due to leaks)
2) They do rust and lock despite the manufacturers claims that the thread wouldn't rust.

If you want more detailed info then contact evofunk(sergio) from this forum , he had them. These KW are expensive so at least I want to give you my opinion base on two people that had use the KWs. Other than that they perform superbly.

If we can do this in November that would be great since our other group of friends was talking about this earlier and I think we have some more people that want parts too.

For those interested, I am looking to sell my robispec KW3 coilovers for $2200 (including shipping). They are lightly used, about 2k miles and installed only 4 months ago. I upgraded to Motons.

err...2100 on his webpage for the V3...this isnt the for sale forum. besides that one would want to know what spring rates and if they were clubsports considering the price you posted.

These are the $2800 clubsports with the spring rates robi uses. I could post, but I'm not sure that it is completely public knowledge what spring rates he uses for these coilovers. Your right, this isn't a sales forum, but I figured someone would nevertheless be interested in a 20% discount.
