Just wondering how the 08' compares to the 11/12's in both ride quality and handling with the 08' running KW V3's. Any previous 08' owners with this setup trade in for a 2011/12 and can offer a comparison?
Thanks in advance

I would love to hear about this too. Im about to place an order of the V3's next week no matter what, but it's always good to get comparisons.
I'd test drive a 11/12 F but I'd probably have to drive 5hrs or more to find one out here in the Midwest

I'm on KW V3's and they ride nice and smooth except for the occasional bump in the road, I have mine set pretty low and the dampering is stiffer but still will rub sometimes on the wheel liner.

Btw, you'll love the KW's for this car. They truly transform it in bump absorption, wheel control, cornering flatness, and overall civility.

I hear ya...I haven't driven the later models but I would think you're right in your analogy. The ride quality is excellent with the KW's. So well sorted compared to my 08's suspension prior.

Yeah I love your setup with the gloss black stockers. I was actually thinking of doing the same and your pics from s few weeks ago swayed my opinion to do it

Had you painted yours or powdercoated?
Mine will be a little different in that I'm going to keep the "samurai sword" portion gunmetal (the skinny part that comes polished on the Canadian spec/Neiman Marcus editions) and then go gloss back throughout the rest of the wheels.
I'm sitting higher than you for daily driving civility but love your cars stance.

No rubbing yet with my current drop pictured below.
