Hi!

After being sold blown shocks from a member of this forum I am looking again to buy used KW V3 or else.

THEY MUST BE IN PERFECT CONDITION

You must be willing to ship to Canada.

Price range around 1000$ US + shipping

Thanks!

how do you know they were blown? were they stock shocks? or kws.

v2 go for 1600 plus so not sure about you finding v3 for anything near 1k

FYI, the KWs don't rebound when compress them by hands due to little gas pressure they used; I talked to KW few years ago with my used set and they said as long as there were no oil or leaks, they are in good condition. My 2 other new KWs also behave the same when compressed, it won't jack right up.

One of them leaked from the bottom and ALL of them had very inconsistent response when pressed by hand. I sent them for inspection and shock dyno at a specialised shop and the 4 must be rebuilt.

When I bought these there where 3 sets within the same price range. They go out fast, but I am confident I can find some other ones, and also I am open to some negociation

Limited Lifetime warranty is non transferable on V1,V2 and V3 (original owner only) and coverage is at the discretion of KW on what's abuse and normal wear. Clubsport is no warranty offered.

Rebuilding them cost 200 each (800 total) with a 2-3 week turnaround time.

Yeah, I've been researching coilovers. Just sharing what I found out.
