I bought them from Vivid racing and had them installed by Lynmore motorsports in NY. The car was setup by them perfectly.I was at Pocono on Sunday and in the turns it stayed flat and had a lot of control.I am one happy man. If anyone was thinking about getting them ,get them its worth it.Check out these pictures

What ride height, compression & rebound settings are you using?
Also what alignment specs.

I am about to install a set.

Are you using camber plates are made any other suspension changes such as LCA's, etc.

I cant speak specifically about the Kw3's but I added Bilsteins and gt3 LCA to my base carrera 997 and the combination has transformed the car to an entirely new level in terms of handling.

I have only heard only good things about the KW also.

...best first mod you can add. IMHO.

The height of the car is set to match what it was with the H&R springs I had on. It looks very close the gt3 height. The coilovers are set at mid point any stiffer it would be too much to drive on the street for me. The alignment is set for the track or as far as it could go on stock control arms. I also have H&R sway bars and run on Rcompounds nitto nt1’s when I am on the track

I don't remember the exact cost because had other things done but I think it should be around 900-1200 with wheel alignment.
