Good to know mate, one day I might be lucky enough to own a set!

That's a great price. I might be contacting you come the end of the month.

Look forward to hear from you Stuart!

[Jamo]

You need to check the car directly early aby could have been m12 or m14 no way of telling on paper

I recently put KW v1s on my car, I absolutely LOVE them, they are fantastic...

my price was quite a bit cheaper, 1200 shipped from germany, and that is in USD, not GBP.

cheers jamo.. i thought as much , i remember getting some new stretch bolts from audi when i changed the front shocks and i remember them not fitting , but not the size... i will try and get some to look at it for me .

How is it to drive with KW v1s? Pretty uncomfortable or okay to daily driving

That's well below trade price mate, and i'm buying direct from KW Germany! Looks like you got a really good deal!

I personally can't comment, but it would be good to know from peeps personal experiences.

I had H&R springs with Bilstien shocks before i switched to the KW V1s, I was worried the ride would be quite a bit more harsh, but this is actually the opposite of what i experienced. Since the shocks are actually matched to the springs, the ride is much more comfortable then with my previous set up and also MUCH more responsive. I can not recommend this upgrade enough. Here is a random video from my install:

Okay. So it's not to hard on the road? I'm thinking about bumps and stuff like that. I have Bilstein Sports shocks on now with standard springs its okay to drive with but i want my car to be a little more lower.
