Default KW V3 coilovers

Hi, i am looking into a coilover setup for my 04 wagon. Does anyone have any thoughts on the KW V3, are they good in respect to damping etc for road use. Or would you recomend others for the same price range ?
I am interested as they are a stainless alloy so should last and look nicer for longer.

Many thanks

I had a ride in a Skoda fitted with these and I can only say they were superb, supple, composed and the car felt fantastic, when compared to my std STI suspension.

Hi Shepster,

I have the V3's on my My98 Type R and can honestly say I think they are awesome!

Mine are not on the softest setting, but are supple enough to soak up the road and doesn't crash over bumps. The car feels stiffer, but not like concrete...

The build quality is outstanding and look superb. Seems a shame to have them hiding in the arches!

In addition, the feel of the car is outstanding. I owe big thanks to Frayz for suggesting them and Zak/Luke at Mocom for fitting and setting up.

They are a really good setup. Nice and composed with lots of adjustability.

Mocom should be able to supply and fit
