hello, im considering a set of kw v3's with 40k miles on them for $1000

i thought i would run this through you guys before looking into buying them.

should i be worried that there is 40k miles on this setup?

also the owner says one of the top damper adjuster is harder to turn then the rest and that when he first adjusted them, a bit of leak came out(he suspects the previous owner before him overtightened it)

thanks s2ki

i'd pass on them...

you can find brand new ones for maybe 1750. it's 750 more i know, but compared to that other option.......

s2kiono

anyone know how long these things can last until they need a rebuild?

istdercollen

i don't know, but if you buy them new apparently, KW will rebuild them for free for life under their lifetime warranty program. Can anyone verify this?

s2kiono

i called kw earlier, they quoted me $100 to rebuild per shock. im lookin at $1400 if i DO have to rebuild them. still worth it?

would a rebuilt shock be just the same as a new shock?

KW's warranty only applies to the original owner IIRC. Moving to mods/parts

istdercollen

In my opinion i would buy then new for a few hundred dollars more, and I think everybody else in here would too if it meant you also had the lifetime warranty. That's getting some serious value for your money.

it depends, 4000 hard track miles can retire a set of damper with ease, or improperly adjusted damper with one speed bump.

performance damper do not last nearly as long as oem, 40k sounds like it could use some refreshing.

make sure you factors in downtime, parts and shipping too, i know those are not covered by the "service charge" for most damper repair.

does KW have authorized rebuilder in the state? it would be a royal cu_t to send to the fatherland and back huh?

good luck, it does not strike me as a good deal once i factor in all that to be very honest with u

Where? Find me some for that price please!!! I have a friend that is interested in some PSS9's but if he were able to find brand new KW V3's for a couple hundred dollars more than he would jump on that.

In for brand new KW V3's for $1750...
