BUt.... i definatly dont blame you going V3, you can always throw some stiffer springs on them later.

I wouldn't ride on anything else (but then that might upset my mate if I did lol)

As for the V3's, great fast road set up with some track use thrown in but the spring rating can and is on the soft side as they are a road spring application, but KW can and will supply you with a competition spring matched to the shock/dampers which will stiffen things up as I have done with my track day astra opc which is stripped out of 130 plus kg, track day rated tyres, 6 pot alcons up front, solid subframe mounts, modified engine mounts and uprated anti roll bars. Currently KW are building me a set of clubsports but instead of the inox-line stainless housing we will be using the aluminium housing from the 2 way race application and inserting the clubsport internals and matched with comp springs and comp top mounts, good way to bring down more overall weight and assist in unsprung weight.

V3's will do me though on the 1M.........
