Thumbs up

If the importer's of KW suspension are to be believed then these unit's are almost bullet proof.They told me that they have only had one strut replaced in five years.
I have also been told that the strut's are stainless steel so will never rust.
As I have said before these KW variant 3's are very good and are at a price that may make you think of not going down the Leda route.
Cheers Paul.

The official Bilstein line at the moment is that there is nothing wrong with the PSS9 kit but they are now revalving kits specially for the UK market (only new shape cars). They are not revalving for any other market. A customer of mine with a new shape Impreza has had problems too and they have offered to revalve his shocks. I believe all the 'classic' shape scoob kits are fine.

I have them on my MY99 and they are total crap on bumpy surfaces to a point where the car is dangerously out of control, I have tried each damper setting on the same section of road and they go from vomit inducing to back breaking in varying stages. One of my mates car with std suspension has no problem getting away from me unless the road is race track smooth. I am currently awaiting alternative replacements to be fitted. Will keep you posted. My advice is don't waste your money on them.
