Default ISF on KWV3 + Vertini Concave

Hi Guys,

Finally got the V3's on and as everyone has confirmed they are brilliant. Car feels very composed with the ride settling allot better on road imperfections. I've also noticed that it feels great on acceleration and breaking - very tight & imo best investment thus far.

Big thanks to everyone who provided feedback on questions in relation to wheels and suspension, much appreciated. Great forum.

Only issue I have encountered is one rear side seems to be cambered just that little more which is great for that side as I'm running aggressive rear offsets.. however the other side rubs on the inner guard lining (fenders have been rolled) - I'm thinking of getting the Figs suspension arms & adjusting the camber on that side..... suggestions on anyone running Figs suspenson arms would be appreciated

Thanks - Mike

Looks great! The more I see these cars dropped the more I'd wanna do that but I'm trying to keep the most comfort. A big thumbs up.

I would have liked to have more of a concave in the front, like the rear

U'd be very surprised on the ride, very composed and best of all it's fully adjustable to ur specific liking. I'd be adjusting the height soon to find a nice medium between looks and practicality. There's just too many inclines and speed bumps where I live

The ride with the KWs is more comfortable than the stock suspension.

I had KW V3 on my 06 S4 and they were by far the best coilovers I have ever used. They rode better than stock and sucked the car to the ground in the turns. The only problem was there was a design flaw on the older models for the S4 and they would blow after 1000 miles or less. KW customer service though is great as they sent me new set after new set until they got the problem resolved.

Awesome product and awesome service.
