Black VR6,Need advice,broken KW coilover

[VR6pitcrew]

The car has KW variant 2 coilovers all round,the drivers side front is damaged and cannot be repaired. Does anyone know where i can get one or a matching pair? If not, what would you recommend to go with the KW v2 on rear?

[schoona]

Not sure if you can by pairs of coils.... but I'm pretty sure performalink in NZ or inmotive (sp??) would be able to help you out

[Water Boy]

Can you give us a bit more info on the problem. Some pictures etc...

Have yop had the shock looked at by an expert?

BTW is this on the black or silver VR6?

[VR6pitcrew]

Thanks schoona, i will check out your advice and let you know how i get on

[VR6pitcrew]

The damage is on the black VR6, and yes it has been checked out by repairers of suspension systems

[Stephy]

Get rid of the coils all together and BAG IT!!!!!!!!!

If the shock has been checked out by a professional and deemed unpairable you have a few things to decide. Do you just want the car low or do you want to have it set up for motorsport.

Also remember most Mk3 shocks come as a set of four so find just a set of fronts maybe hard.

Do you have a photo of the busted shock?

Shouldn't it be under warranty? Or did it break due to over-use?

I'd love to know how you managed to break a KW v2, coz thats what I've got!

They're not really motorsport coilovers btw, they're just rather nice streetable/odd trackday coils. KW v3 or higher is the motorsport stuff and that is mega dollars.

Matty,My son Chris bought this vr6 with front end damage as a project car. I think the coilover was damaged in the accident and because you can`t replace one I`m now going to sell the four and replace them with something simular. Tony

[whiteVR6]

are you looking at selling the old ones?

[DubSteve]

There are guys down here in Sydney that are the KW Importers. I am sure that you can get that strut fixed for a small price!

I`ve been intouch with Eastcoast Suspension (KW)yesterday & waiting for them to get back to me.
If it turns out to be unrepairable or too expensive then i will consider selling them.

Hooray-Got one

So pleased, Eastcoast Supension have been great, managed to get us one matching KW coilover for the black VR6,can't wait till it arrives, that much closer to getting her finished and having the BBQ.
