i have them.. although they are on my IS-F. The design is the same. Yet the valving and spring rates are different. I love them, they do take time getting used to, why? The amount of adjustments they have. With being dbl adjustable there are tons of dampening adjustments. I happen to track my car and the valving and handling is SUPERIOR. I have pics of them on the IS-F thread under "white smasher"

Chris is right, they have a very wide range of adjustabiltiy which is really nice to have on a set of coilovers, it allows you to tailor the ride exactly how you want it.

KW makes a very nice setup, and they are well worth the money IMO. We have been selling them for quite some time , never an unhappy customer on these

I've had them for about 2 weeks. Still playing with the settings but I am very happy so far. Freeway ride is about the same but steering feel has improved. The intial turn in is very quick. Currently running with the rebound set to 9 and compression at 1 turn. Lowered about 1 1/2 inches.

Since the 3GS and 2IS share so many parts, can the KW V3 be fitted to a GS? Or does KW make them for the GS? Any ideas much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure you could fit them to a GS, spring rates might be slightly off for the heavier car though.

I am not sure what a GS or IS actually weighs.

Thanks. I was contemplating the KW V3 set for ISF on a GS 450h. Weight of both cars are very similar.
