            Not sure, I think he has a Whiteline.

            Best setup is to get the higher rated kit, swap the front and rear springs (harder springs on the rear) and run a white line at the rear with stock front. Gives adjustability and a bit of compliance at the rear when compared with the FARB option.

              I got rid of whiteline rear arb because I thought it was not much better than standard now I'm getting kw 3 I wouldn't mine trying front arb on rear and if possible rs2 front arb if I can get hold of one?

                RS2 farb on the rear will be too lairy IMHO and it will smash about over lumps & bumps.
                Better to increase the rear axle stiffness with springs, which you can do easily with KWs if you order the AC specific set and swap the 70n springs onto the rear. This is what I have done and coupled with RS2 front bar and whiteline rear bar on stiffest setting it is excellent - very neutral.

                      On your own words Thomas, "stop talking now!"




                      For sure Ohlins are some of the best but hardly good for most peoples wallets you dingo

                            I contacted Stasis directly asking if they'd make me some Ohlins style coilovers, which they flat out refused.

                            So I bought v3 instead and am looking forward to installing them
