Swapped banana arms and the bottom drivers suspension bolt backed out which severely weakened the T-bar.

It's a lot of labour to be putting in another fatigued metal part and KW told me in an email that they don't re-valve... So no more T-bars and no more KW v3.

Did they happen to mention how much higher a spring rate you could run without the T-bar Jason? I was pretty sure you could increase them quite a lot and still be within range of their valving.

You can go 200LBS over what our variants come with and be fine.

That will work you can go to a 485 in the rear and 540 in the front and
be good. But if you do in fact do that there will be no warranty for
your shocks

Well anyone thinking of upgrading to a great setup for dual purpose street/track car should seriously consider these. Really good blend of track focused balance while maintaining utmost drive-ability. Great price for this quality.

Also a very happy KW V3 user. Even with the ****ty NY roads its very nice on the street. In my opinion they are even smoother on the street than my previous setup of Koni's and stock springs. Not nearly as sharp / jarring going over bumps. Have a few auto-x's and track days on them also.. couldnt be more happy.
