Anybody bought KW V3 recently for a Widetrack/Hawk STI?
Long shot I know, I've been dealing with KW direct for a few months now - and I finally took delivery of my coilovers today but was gutted to find they're a completely wrong fitment.
From Left to right:
New Front unit = good to go
Middle two = wtf?!
An old/knackered rear V3 unit for reference
As far as I'm aware, there is not a single Impreza which would suit the fitment of the middle two. I called KW UK after receiving the package, and they were adamant that the product ID's etc all lined up - and I had to send them photographs explaining the issue. (I'm pretty sure the fella on the phone was doing google image searches while I was on the phone to verify what I was saying too).
It seems crazy that the KW catalogue could be wrong for an 8 year old car. Has anybody ordered recently and got the same set I've got?
Coincidentally, when you go on a few online shops - the pictured version matches the set I got:

Try this link,
It's from the EU KW site. Will have the correct coilover part numbers.
