Well, what's to say? They are fantastic shocks, some of the best made used by pro racing teams at the highest levels of motorsport both 2 and 4 wheels. They are single adjustable which is fine with me with internal reservoirs, very light weight, reliable and require little maintenance. On a smooth track I'll run them full stiff, on the street about half (16 clicks). On rougher tracks I'll set them somewhere in-between.
It really depends on what you want. Being 1-way you could say they don't offer the same value as something like a Tein or Zeal or even KWv3 because they have a lower knob count but on the other they are a more basic but substantially better shock than any of them. I don't usually get knob envy and they are simple enough that I can figure out how to set them up with reasonable accuracy. If I have one complaint about them it's that the reservoir on the rears is internal which cuts down on available travel and adjustment.

Cthree, thanks again for you info, it's proving to be quite helpful but raises just one more question...are you running what Ohlin recommends for our car - 46UR- or something else?

The KW V3s are definitely within your range.
Why was my post edited to exclude the price I paid for my KW V3s? Is posting prices against the rules?
Thanks!
