KW V3 spring

OneM · 02-23-2016, 02:36 AM

My KW V3 front dampers are leaking, been used about 40,000kms.

Have anyone tried using KW springs with stock dampers? Planning to run this way for now.

Thanks

V3's are a serviceable item, so remove and have them rebuilt.

Send it in for warranty or service.

Mine were leaking very lightly on one side, had them both removed and sent over to KW, who rebuilt the damper. As a temp solution, my car had some 996 porsche dampers fitted with kw springs, just to move the car in & out of the workshop.

Yes I have the the kw spring kit on stock dampeners and its an awesome setup.

I use to run coil overs on previous cars but decided against it on the 1m as I loved how it handled but wanted to drop the front end only slightly, the springs are much better than stock.. The dampeners handle them very well.
