I'm running a group buy for the club on them check it out:

So you were to cheap to step up to the Koni 2812.

 

One I don't think I'm good enough of a driver to take advantage of them.
Two They would have been $2700 after the rebuild, + more if i wanted shorter shafts.
Three the prospect of having to rebuild them annually was not appealing
Four I passed the deal off to a fellow STU rx-8 driver.

 

There was nothing cheap about converting from an OE spring and ride height setup to a lowered coilover setup with a rebuild thrown in, they aren't configured like mine

not to mention no cheaper than you ...

 

That is why they were still for sale.

 

I sent you a PM a couple weeks, ago......

 

the kw variant 3 is arguably the best suspension for the rx-8 apart from a koni 2812 (truechoice phase 4, etc.), moton clubsport, or other major coilover setup. i don't know of any other coilover setup where you can get both rebound and compression adjustability for such a ridiculously low (group buy) price of $1650.

razz1 should chime in here too as i believe he likes his k2 v3's a lot.

edit: oops, looks like razz1 already gave his feedback in the GB thread.

 

Better watch out doug i'm coming for you this season with these, you may even wanna hold off on that 2812 deal i passed to you just so when my cockness turns into embarassment.

Hey do you know anyone in Philly that wants some Koni Yellows, I really want to get rid of these before i blow any more money.

 

heh, competition is always welcome. i'm sure you'll be quite happy with the kw v3's.

you might wanna try philly's f/s forum.

 

well I just got back my hydraulic Koni DA shocks from Truechoice, cost me $1000 to rebuild all four, something to always consider when buying used high end shocks ...

 

Yeah i wasn't quite ready to bite that bullet.

 

Me neither...the JIC rebuilds were bad enough
