Hi mate.

In my opinion you get what you pay for. Yes, I understand we all have budgets.. I'm a firm believer in spending the extra few bucks and only spending them once.

I can provide KW or Weitec if you are interested. I am an official Aussie dealer and you will get full Aussie support and warranty.

We also now have the KW Ultra Low kit available. Only very few models to start with but they are expanding their list as I type.

PM or Email me for more info.

Allow 3 hours mate. I've come from a onevia myself.

I have KW V3 in my R32 and they are much better than the R32 Euro suspension I had.

I would not bother with the V1 or 2.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, and thanks preen, i got some prices of you the other day... I guess my selection basically comes down to my budget and what i want them for, i only want them to go low not so much comfort and what not. After all my old car was a falcon ute with 20's, next to none tyres, blocks and reset leaf springs so if they don’t have the best comfort I guess I can put up with it until I have a budget which will allow me to spend that extra money.

It really depends on what you are after.. The V1/2 is a very good option. In many cases, V3s are overkill. No point spending the money if you're not going to get the benefit the V3s offer.

v3's offer bump and rebound adjustability

how's that different from damper adjustability ? so you mean that you can set the damper to stiff and still have comfortable ride ? sorry for the noob question ..

its the 2 forms of damper adjusting (the up and down strokes essentially).
In general, yes it allows you to soften the ride or stiffen it to an extent

"damper adjustability" is the same thing. It's just a bit of an over-simplification.

Some dampers, like the Bilstein, only allow one single adjustment. When you adjust the valving, you are softening or firming both the bump (compression, wheel goes up) and rebound (extension, wheel goes down) at the same time.

With the KW V3, you can adjust the two independently, via 2 separate valves.
