Hi folks, im looking at getting the KWv3 and whiteline anti-lift kit fitted to the car but thought before i do this i should ask for feedback from the guys on here that have either had this done or had other products fitted to there car doing pretty much the same job.
im looking for the car to be my daily drive so dont want my spine breaking, are the KWv3 solid?
also what has the whiteline anti-lift kit changed for you?
im driving a 2006 GTI with DSG and stage 1 revo

thanks in advance for your feedback

If you look in the product review section there is a couple of great reviews on these products.  :drinking:
I have the anti lift kit and for the money it is a great mod. I also have KW coilovers but the V2 version, and my ride quality is very similar to stock i was amazed how comfortable they are for everyday use. I think it depends how low you go with them, if you wind them right down then it will be quite a harsh ride.  :smiley:

It made economic sense to fit my WALK in the same workshop session as my VWR-KW-V3's, so I am unable to tell exactly what the WALK contributed. However, others (see Reviews as TC suggests) have posted about their experiences.

Linky : - VWRacing-KW-V3 Suspension Review

My VWR-KW-V3's are not quite the same as the usual V3's - They have a longer spring and with a different rating. Mine are nothing like a stock ride and are very hard but never harsh and you only feel that hardness when travelling slowly (under 30-ish). As always, it's a trade-off between handling and comfort and it's a personal preference.

I would suggest you also consider upgrading your Anti Roll Bars to compliment the suspension mods you're considering. I best not mention the Quaife :evilgrin:

HTH :smiley:

Top Cat Hi

had a wee look at the review for these products but was looking to see what everyone thought of them as it mite be great to somone but not so good to another. also i was told the KWv3's were the best setup for DSG equipped cars, is this true?

thanks for your input mate

RedRobin, thanks for the info. What rollbars are the best for the mkv? i have heard about creaking noises coming from the etc! on my mk4 gti i fitted eibach rollbars and coilovers along with polly bushes and really loved the way it felt on the road wheather i was pushing on in a B road or cruising on the Mway. if i could get the same in the mkv i would be one happy guy.

Iain :happy2:
