Thanks to John Hennessey
Just got in our Gen 2 KW Suspesion coilovers. Our first set is being bolted on as we speak. :thumb:

Re: Thanks to John Hennessey
Those look purdy.
Where's the rest of the rear shocks and the oil reservoirs. They don't look the same as the pics John has been posting. What am I missing here?

What is pictured are the Variant 2 coilovers. John had posted a pic of the Variant 3. The Variant 2 is a sport system which just has an adjustable rebound and ride height. Variant 3 has separate and independent compression and rebound damping options, more for the pure road racer.

Re: Thanks to John Hennessey
Yes, Cody is exactly right. KW only offers the Gen 2 system as a Variant 2 which is double adjustable but does not have the seperate reservoir.
The pics I have been posting are the kit for the Gen 3's which is the Variant 3 kit with the seperate reservoir and machined aluminum forks.
Also to further clarify, the Gen 2 kit price is $2,395 complete and the Gen 3 kit is $2,995 complete.
Cody - thanks again for your business and see you soon.

So the gen2 kit still adjusts for bounce, rebound, and ride height then? (just no external reservoir)

Re: Thanks to John Hennessey
I would definately want to be able to adjust the damping on the shocks. I think that's a must.
