I'm getting my KW V3's and installing them on Thursday. Pretty psyched.

Hey guys, when I looked up the specs for the KW V3s, I noticed:

"Lowering Adjustment Range: (F/R) 0.9-2.1/0.9-2.1"

Does this mean that you can't run these and be at stock height? You have to at least drop the car by .9"?

Speaking of German coilovers, does anyone have any experience with the H&R coilovers?

I had ordered a set of PSS, but due to an 8 wk delay in supply, I am leaning towards the H&R which are currently in stock.

Thanks for your comments in advance.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but take note that the Amuse coilovers are Bilstein's

Yes, but they're preset. No adjustment for bump or rebound.

*BUMP* Hey Guys, looks like the original post was back in 2010. Out of curiosity for the guys who went with the KW's have you had to rebuild them? If so how easy/hard was it? How much did it cost and how long did it take? I have read some articles stating that you cannot purchase the parts to rebuild them yourself and the need to be sent to KW for that service. I'm sure this takes a quick minute. LOL! Like most of us here, im a HUGE DIY guy and HATE sending my car or parts places to have them worked on, guess I'm just a bit OCD like that.
