KW V3 opinions?

chris719 · 04-11-2025, 10:21 PM

Anyone running KW V3s in 2025 have thoughts on the ride quality vs stock or Bilstein B6? I have heard the rear springs can bind on full compression but not sure if it's a big issue or that uncommon. Torn between these or just going B6 and possibly trimming the internal bump stop a bit.

Thanks!

I actually think spring bind is pretty common for many setups. Most times it can be dialed out adjusting the pre-load or applying some lithium grease.
