Fitting coilovers, drop links and lower arms

[rs user]

I had some b14’s and the fronts looked awful after onne winter and i only do 5k per year, if i get some for the rs i will be tempred to lacquer them

tempting though it may be to skuff and paint etc -probably not a good idea while under warranty ...but yes they sure need it

KW V3 are INOX coated so they tend to withstand the salt and crap of winter better.

You won’t regret the move to KWs. I have the Variant 3 on my Avant and they’re amazing - Ride is really nice and resolves undulations and bumps well.

the b14 are ok-ride wise and handling/damping finish on them [fronts]after about 8 months [very limited winter use] is absolutely awful tbh
i read that the kw units keep their finish better and also work well,but again there is a user on here or f/b who is looking for a replacement as his damper has failed,although i dont know how old the unit is...seems you cant win whatever you buy sadly

I have them (kw v3) on my B5 RS4 and one of my front ones failed after less then 2k miles .Spoke to KW offering to provide documented evidence to support mileage but they were not interested. Cost me £450 to have the two front struts ( they only do in pairs ) serviced . I personally will not be buying them for the b7 . However the finish on them is very good .
