I respect your decision to have these evaluated. Get the springs dyno'd as well. I hope you post up the results.

do you know Chris???
he has a set of zeals also.....Blue Z...goes by illz33
anyhow...i am at the point where i tried a bunch of springs and finally found one that works....now i wasted 900 on struts...tokico blues that got all soft on me in one month...and d-specs that did the same in 2 weeks flat!!!!
i am so frustrated that i am AFRAID to buy koni for fear of the same problem!
i am desperate enough to drop money on real coilovers....
obviously yours cost ~3k what do you reccomend for a budget of 1500-2000?
thanks!

I just contacted Steve @ SWE about getting my dyno done since they are local (Venture, CA). I have KW V3 that I want to see and share my graph. I would like a better understanding and of course help from everyone here when I post it up.
If you are interested in going head to head with KW V3. Maybe we can get a meet going and see. I know it is not Zeal but hey I am sure folks here would still like to see. Let me know.

I've been watching this for awhile, I guess I'll chime in
I tried them out and I am very satisfied. Gave me the drop that springs couldn't, ride is everything I would ask for in dd coilover, in fact actually better than I was expecting. It's my daily and these coils gave me everything I need them to, good responsive ride and a great drop. No I don't race so I am not able to tell you how well they hold up in that scenario. I drive very spirited on the road and they handle everything I throw at them. I have driven on FK coils, bilstein coils, and kw v1 coils in the vw world and these hold their own if not outperform any of the others.
