Hi Guys,
i am about to pull the trigger on new suspension and wanted to get some advice about KW3's.
I am aware that they are fully adjustable however, I am really looking for a compliant ride quality. I do a lot of miles in the 6 and this is more important then track handling.
Can anyone comment that has this setup and that has manage to get a comfy ride?
thank you guys

Not sure KWv3 are best choice for a comfortable ride. Have a read of this:

The words "firm, hard, concrete" come up a lot when describing the ride.

Re: KW V3 advice please, thoughts from owners
lol, oh dear! I guess then it is all about H&R Vs PSS. I think that the PSS is the way to go TBH
thanks for your input Shopp

H&R are hard. Much harder than PSS9. I didn't like them. And they sag and you can't raise the car enough at the back. I would like to try the PSS one day to see what they are like.

H&R are way too hard IMO, KW I found a little better but still hard.

Or just repair DRC and have the handling the car is supposed to have!!
Re: KW V3 advice please, thoughts from owners
When I get a chance I'm going to repair my DRC to see what it's supposed to be like.

Oh, OK. I don't know where I got the idea that you liked a stiff one. Maybe when you were talking about your box.
