KW V3

Has anyone ridden in a 135 with this setup? I would also change the rear subframe bushings, but I'm wondering if this setup will be too uncomfortable for daily use and 1-2 trackings per month.

I have this setup, the progressive springs w/ their dampers honestly ride better than stock. It's a really, really solid setup.

That's great. I'm researching options for when the lease on my 335 comes up and I think I want to go to the 135. I'm actually about 10 miles from you. Maybe I can check out your ride sometime?

Kw v3 will ride better than v1 because of the two way dampning controls and higher quality shocks better matched to the spring rates.

However, at that price point, tck and ast d/a (dual adjustable) should be highly considered. They are superior performing setups and can be customized to the exact ride height and spring rates that fit your needs.

I just received my ohlins coilovers which are in the same price point. There in one nob on the ohlins that adjust the compression and rebound together. Ohlins make the top stuff for motorcycles and I have never been on kw3s but it seems to be the impression from the experts I spoke with that kw3<tck da< ohlins. Probably some personal preferred and they would all be great.
