From what I have been told the dampening and compression with them is better and it is fully adjustable to what height you want rather than being fixed position.

I think another nice thing is you can alter your set up for road or track use with ease, probably not a common thing for many but if you do plan to use it on the track you can set it up nicely in a few minutes.

I hear its a bit of a pain to change the settings , heard of some ppl having to cut parts out of the body work to get to change the ride settings, I have been recommended to keep the setting to 6, as this would be best suited for Day to day driving and the odd track day, this also replicates the OEM setting, any body reliterate on this who has them fitted?

KW V3

Post by caldy » Tue Jun 02, 2009 2:34 pm

New kid on the block! http://www.revolution247.com/

I have discussed with Glen at Revolution Motorsport the possibility of a group buy for those of us 'up north'. He is a major stockist of KW and has offered a group buy of a minimum 5 systems at £1426 incl VAT, fully fitted, which includes a full 4 wheel alignment check on an AKA Hunter machine, one of the most, if not the most sophisticated available.

This price is post-price increase from KW which came into effect on 1st May. Recommended retail used to be £1380 but is now £1490 incl VAT. So those of you committing elsewhere, check that the original price stands.

Anyone interested?

He also stocks dozens of wheel and tyre combinations so is always worth a phone call.

I'd normally jump at the chance but my wallett is so empty now after this months expenditure on the RS even the moths have left and my flexible friend is as stiff as a board with the debt racked up on it.

You need to move down south PG ;)

I've used Revoluton in the past and thought they were excellent outfit.
