    I'm currently in the process of getting KW V2's installed, but unless you'll be doing constant adjustment to the rebound settings etc, I don't think that there is that much gain to be had with the V3's, other than having the stainless tube instead of galvanised, which is not really necessary here - no snow and salt.

    I would recommend getting the heavy duty strut mounts as well, as I recently did a change of my old stock ones and they were as flat as a pancake, the metal core was sticking out. I would think that coilovers transfer more load to the strut mounts over stock.

    KW V2 last eds - been quoted $1975.
    KW V3 - $2722.

    I fancy a bit of a tinker now and then too, so the extra adjustment ability of the V3s might come in handy one day.

    Seb (bug_racer) recommended I get polyeurathane strut mounts, but cant find any so far.

    The nolathane site only lists camber bolts for Golf. ANY golf. Fail!
    Might email them though...

    Cant find the polyurethane mounts on germanautoparts, only the same as whats on the ECS site (albeit, slightly cheaper).

    One thing i am wondering, will I need mounts for front & rear? or just front?
