That said, they have a pretty narrow rebuild interval especially if tracked. Whenever mine need a rebuild I will probably try something else for no good reason other than variety.

Just curious but is the adjustment **** on the very bottom center of the strut like it was on my old ones? That is one advantage the TTX has in my book. I would have to disconnect my tie rods to adjust the compression/rebound on them which got annoying

In the front yes. In the rear its at the top, so requires some yoga to get through the rear cage and pull up the carpet to make adjustments.

That will be a huge upgrade too. V3's are just run of the mill twin tubes. The Ohlins with inverted monotubes will be much better. Their price point for performance is probably unmatched.

You can buy extensions from Ohlins that allow you to adjust the rear R&T dampers without pulling anything apart.
