Yes, i just got them and installed the rears today. Hopefully i'll put the fronts on tomorrow and go for a drive.

Also, I have checked with KW that the below is for GD not GE.

Just installed the fronts and went for a quick drive. Still need to get alignment, but definitely a very comfortable coilover. I will wait for my alignment before pushing the car, but easily out handles the stock suspension.

At its price, i dont think there's anything comparable. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing. I have read much about these on other cars and everyone raves about them. You have helped me tremendously!
Great to see pics when it is all said and done! Thanks for the pics and quick review!

I called KW directly - no plans to make a KW V2 - no demand.

abu, how's the adjustments? I've heard they're not that friendly as you can't hear them click when you do height adjustments

The PSS are not adjustable for dampening...only height adjustable. Don't know if they will make the PSS9 for the fits?!
