A couple of mates run KW's and absolutely rave about them, one has them on his TT and the ride is amazing at this height:



Whereas the other guy has a G60 at this height and his ride is about the same as my JOMs:

Had Spax adjustables on two cars and found them really good.
Still got them on the front of the 405Mi16.
Mystic Blue Mk3 16v + Black Mk5 Gti 05 plate + Peugeot 405 Mi16

Mmmm, both seem good. Are the KW's better quality? I say that because Spax are cheaper and have adjustable damping. Do you really use that adjustment on a road car? I can't see myself using it :undecided:

Thanks for the comments, appreciate it :)

you will use it once. What if the kw's are too firm and you want it softer?

I know I would use it. Have it soft for town driving etc and then stiff for the Sunday drive.
