Hello Everyone!
I cleaned out the last of my storage unit and here is what I have left. I have a FRONT SET of KW Variant 3 Coilovers and a REAR SET of H&R Sport Springs. How did I end up with such an odd pairing you may ask? Well, I had originally went from stock to the H&R Sport Spring setup, then after I saved up some cash, I went to the KW Variant 3 coilover setup. I also had SPL upper control arms at this point, which would later need some freshening up due to a faulty nut. So when I pulled off the SPL's I also decided to pull off the front KWs as I noticed a little bit of oil coming out of the top of the passenger side strut (this is very common from what I have gathered from multiple sources). I wasn't entirely sure it needed to be rebuilt, but the plan was to send it over to KW to make sure everything was kosher. I never got around to this unfortunately. What I was left with was my H&R Sport Springs on the front and my Kws on the rear. My car was totalled about three months ago, and there you have it. I am left with a FRONT SET of KW Variant 3 Coilvers and a REAR SET of H&R Lowering Springs. Sorry for the dissertation, but I like people to be informed as to what they are looking at and why.
As noted, the KWs may need to be rebuilt or at the very least looked at by a professional so I am asking $150 OBO for these. These could make a great primary setup in conjunction with something else in the rear, a backup set, track set, etc. They were probably on the car for a little over a year and with no problems. No tracking, no abuse, just everyday driving. I have all the adjustment tools including the wrenches shown, and the dampening adjustment allen tool. I also have the decals and the original paperwork that came with the KW Coilovers.
Let me emphasize again that there were no ride quality or performance issues with the coilovers. I ONLY pulled them off when I pulled the SPL control arms off, because I am OCD about things being perfect!
The H&R Sport Springs are just taking up space and I would let them go for free with the coilovers, or $20 if they were to be picked up.
Look forward to hearing back from anyone who is interested and please feel free to check my buyer/seller feedback which is stellar. I am totally legit and all about working with people. Unfortunately, I have had a few people who "REALLY" wanted to buy these and they backed out at the last minute literally because of cash problems, which is why the pics are so old. It's just hard to keep going back and forth to my storage unit and dragging them out just to take pictures.
Thanks Everyone!!

Ghost1207 - Yes. Just to reiterate, from what I have read and the people I have spoken with, the MINUTE amount of oil (meaning hardly visible to someone who is not as OCD as me) is VERY COMMON. Just wanted to clarify this. On top of that, again, no ride quality issues or performance issues. No oil spilling out all over the place or anything like that. The pictures tell no lies here. I actually only took a rag to them real quick right out of the storage unit and they looked like that.
Neeko94 - Good luck man! I think going with a brand new set is really the best way to go for what you are looking for!
Thanks all!! The sale continues!!

I've seen the threads on here about how common the leakage is, I just can't believe you're selling some quality coilovers at a ridiculously low price and no one has jumped on it yet!
That is a very low price, even considering that they're just the fronts with a small leak. Just curious, but where did you find the leak on your V3?

Ghost1207 - thanks for the supporting comments! Much appreciated! And yes, a very low price indeed! I actually started a lot higher a few months back and got no hits at all, so I just kept lowering until people started inquiring. And, the coilovers just got sold to a good dude so thanks to everyone who checked out the thread!
3hree5ive0ero - I noticed it on the top where the dampening adjustments are made. Looking at them again right before I sold them, I honestly think I was just being paranoid!
Anyhow, thanks to all and have a great weekend!!
