To make it even harder, Ohlins R&T should be out soon as well.

You are correct, I exaggerated a little bit there

Agreed, the Ohlins R&T are coming out and I was told MCS is coming out with a high end one way damper too.

I lap within the same second assuming I'm not hooning and there is no traffic but I am however completely clueless when it comes to adjusting the suspension.

For example: I had my V3s set at KWs recommended starting point settings. It felt fine to me, on both the street and the track so I never adjusted them.

Could I benefit from adjusting them one way or another? Most likely. I just have no clue.

I absolutely cannot tell if I need more or less rebound or more or less compression nor if I could benefit from either adjustment...

I understand what each does, on paper. But I cannot "feel".

And from talking to fellow track buddies it seems a lot of us are in that boat.

This is actually turning out to be the main thing that draws me to the RS1. High end damper but with a single knob for simplicity's sake.

I'm from Europe so I know what you mean!
And an E92 M3 in the UK MSRPs at around 55k GBP which is over $85k converted in USD (US MSRP is $62k) //off topic

I'm trying to build a true dual performer that can go on road trips and out to dinner and hang with vettes, vipers, gt-r's and gt-3's (not too worried about much else) I believe it's this true dual purpose that costs a premium and that's where I'm looking for value in the set-up... But that's just me...

KW V3s fit your exact needs if you ask me!
