what alignment spec are you guys using? I'll be doing some track/ mostly street driving with the S. I came across the UK specs.

whoops, meant to clarify. adjusting the rebound is very easy. climbing under the car to adjust compression is something i rather not do.

adjusting the rear rebound is fine, the adjustment hole is facing the rear of the car. the fronts are a pain since they facing inwards and you need to climb under the car, and the suspension arms are in the way, so you need to be a relative of gumby to get your arms in there to make adjustments
Don't get them mixed up. Like I posted earlier in the thread... Compression is the bottom adjustment, and rebound is at the top.

It could be that they have spent the money on building a quality shock with excellent valving. The s2000 OEM tophats are very good, and using them helps keep the ride nice. If you want KWs with tophats, the Clubsports are offered, but are much more expensive than the v3.
