Only way to adjust the compression and rebound on the KW V3 is by removing the shocks, you can adjust the Bilstein while they are fitted to the car. :smiley:

forgive me if im wrong, i thought he was comparing the b12 setup which is just a strut isnt it? with no ability to adjust height? I might be wrong though...

I highly recommend KW not only are the parts quality but their after service was impressive.
I had a problem with a set of coilovers on a B5 S4 so I contacted their tech support team. They asked for a few photos which I provided and I received next day a brand new set free of charge to correct the problem.

Did you contact them about this issue?
I agree that its a strange material to use for an adjusting ring. My B5 ones were made out of an alloy.
