As for a report. Well, they are extremly well made. Stainless steel tubes and plastic adjusters mean they won't really rust/get stuck in position over time, they come with all the bits you need to fit them (which is acctually surprisingly easy) but the best bit is the amount of lowerage you can do with these.

In the pics I've shown there is about 60mm of thread left on the front and 50mm on the back. The damping (factory set with V1s) is perfect for going low. Nice and hard but no so bad it breaks your back.

The handling is uber compared to before. Body roll is almost non existent and grip generally seems to have increased 10 fold.

Not having used other makes I can't comment on differences but they are deffinatly worth the money.

You get what you pay for, eh dude

KW sponsor the VW Racing Cup too and supply all teams there with KW coilies. They are expensive for a reason!

Looks good mate you just need some 45-profile rubber now

Aye well I've got that on my alloys. So I might just stick with 50 profile on my winter wheels, so the underside takes less of a beating in the winter.

Managed to bend my CAT guard just though
