I know Top Cat is about to get some Variant 2's fitted and RedRobin is also considering some KW's via VW Racing I believe.

I don't have them myself, but I have read a lot of good reviews of them.  V2s are the most popular.

....Correct! :afro: Definitely KW for me but we don't know which yet.

KW have an excellent reputation, both for the quality of their products but also for their aftersales/customer service.

I'm on V3's.

Had them on for a few months now.

I love them but TBH my Suss was fooked before i got them on so the differance was bound to be gr8. Plus i did ARB's and breaks at the same time, along with trying to fix some other bits that had been done wrong.

We'r like marmite. Mmmmm, i love marmite :D

K3 are fully adjustable

If you just want common or garden coils, then get the Eibach ones - they're made by KW anyway and have a nice plush ride (for coils)
