i had KW V1's (i know, huge diff in price point but still KW product) on my previous ride. w/in a year, one of the fronts began to leak. didn't even have them maxed out. luckily, i sold the car 'as is' to a new owner. needless to say, i was a disappointed in the quality and was expecting more.

Day 7 of the KW saga. THmotorsports has talked to World Toyota and been told the issue found and determined defective by KW. They still have not provided me with an RMA to return the defective struts. Even have been so bold as to claim they may not be defective, so I requested to return them and eat the 10-15% restocking fee per their return policy. If I get no resolution tomorrow it's going to my credit card company to resolve and I intend to blast TH on club lexus, hard. This has been an outrageous debacle to say the least with me now sitting on a very expensive paperweight. Today's rant, over.

Today's update: I called KW directly and they are taking the struts back. They're going to fully inspect and repair if necessary and send them back to me like brand new, or a brand new set. Should have just called them in the first place. THmotorsports has been non-responsive for two days. Done with those guys. Maybe I'll actually get some coilovers installed by Christmas.

KW filled the oil level and rechecked everything. They are good to go! Now, I might be getting an RCF. Anyone interested in these?

Could be interested chap.

Suggest you do a sales thread though to keep the mods/community happy.

Be interested to know what kind of money you would want for them.

Given they are basically brand new, I can't see you wanting to eat much of a discount!

On my wish-list!

Absolutely. I won't post them until I've got them back from KW. Figured I could gauge some interest prior to that.
