Hi, all. Anyone know of any place that discounts KW coilovers? I want to go with them on my '96 and being somewhat frugal would like to get a discount. I know about their rebate, curious if any discounts.

Tire Rack has a 500 dollar discount right now on the V3, plus the 350 rebate

Arrived from tire rack last week. Still waiting for some time to put them on.

What is the current wisdom on KW V3's vs PSS10's? My PSS9's are totally shot, have been on the car for 15 years. Trying to decide whether to get them rebuilt or spring for new. I've never had to buy suspension so not sure what to do.

Churchill, I think they're both pretty great all rounders for the street with light track work. I've been running PSS10'S on the street since 2013. I'm very low all around with the help from Fvd lowering collars on the front coilovers. Even at this height the ride is really compliant but I wouldn't recommend it for daily duty. Richpugh runs his 993 very low on a set of KWV3's and I know he likes them.


Can anyone get Pss10's right now? Sounds like KWV3's ftw!

I'm torn between the KWV1 and V3. I do not do any tracking but I am concerned the fixed damping on the V1 will be too stiff. Anyone have experience with that? How do they compare to the H&R coilovers in regards to stiffness?

FWIW, I went with non-adjustable H&R Street Performance shocks when it was time to replace OEM. They're pretty stiff, and if I were to do it again, then I'd opt for spending a bit more $ for the option of adjustability. Even if I didn't adjust things often, having further options to dial it all in would have been nice.

Not that I possess any of the current wisdom, but I believe your PSS9 are rebuildable at/by Bilstein.

Well I pulled the trigger at Tire Rack today,I bought the KWV3s. More than I wanted to spend but I'm sure I will be glad in the long run. Thanks for your help.

I can't seem to get a firm answer on this. Even called Bilstein. Have heard Hergesheimer does this for $200/shock. Will probably try them.
