yeah it is noticeably stiffer than stock at the current dampening level i'm using(6 clicks from softest). Sorry to hijack, but just curious if any of you guys hear any sounds from the rear struts?

I´m running the kw var3 and i love it. in streetuse i run the softest setup. on racetracks i can switch between different setups for each german racetrack cause a friend of mine builds racecars and he helped me to figure them out. i also have a special oil filling in my dampers. just ask kw and they´ll do it.
If you know how to adjust them the kw are the best!!

Just to clarify, regardless of which KW Variant kit you buy, they're all identical in design, spring rate, and valving. They'll handle the same. The difference is in how much adjustability you want. The V1 is spring-adjustable only, the V2 adds rebound adjustment, and the V3 adds compression adjustment. In my personal experience, rebound & spring adjustment is more than adequate for everything other than professional competition. My vote is for the V2.
