I didn't think you we're that way inclined Ben! :assflash:

Apparently when they pounded on the box they did something extra!!!! Was told it would help the gearbox with my lead stilettos abuse :lol:

I will take your old suspension off your hands if you are getting rid.
I assume it's DRC?

I have KW v3s and I love them. Fine ride quality, kids and wife don't mind either, and handling with the Hotchkiss arbs is very good. Easily adjustable too. Go for it, best set up.

Set up well, the v3's are great. Got them on the RS and they handle brilliantly. Had them on one of my R32's and they were set up a lot firmer but it handled like it was on rails. Ride isn't harsh at all on the RS. I'd definately fit them again.

Bought mine with KW V3 and ARBs. So wouldn't notice the difference between them and DRC. Agree with Sulli, ride is firm and feels well planted. But I have to be extra vigilant of the potholes because trust me you will feel them.
