WOW!

i was pretty much committed to a set of V3's this summer.

But this is a bit scary.

Iam anxiously waiting to hear KW's reply and see how they treat their existing customers with this problem.

Is this strictly a KW problem? Only been driving on my H&R coilovers for a couple of days now been listen closely, no noise. For you KW guys was this right away or did it develop over time? I've seen that spray lube stuff for the threads think that would help?

As I said on the other thread, no chirp, squeak or peep from mine. And this is over some terrible roads as of late - a nice car driving hell of ice ruts, concealed potholes and road crud. I've only had mine since late Aug of last year though. Is this something that develops gradually or is it there from the get-go?

I'm hoping that a) this affects earlier versions and b) those that are experiencing it get a factory fix! Because expensive coilovers that squeak is, to quote the Nanny, una-ceptable.

It's good that someone is piping up about this though because, uhm, the squeaky wheel gets the grease?
