Thanks!
I'm interested too.

KW has adjustable rebound/compression so the ride can be adjusted to one's preference. It should be tuned softer so the rear does not break out as quickly.

The prices listed are parts only.

Labor varies from 10-30 hours

Front HLS only
4 Wheel HLS

With KW Coilovers
Front HLS
4 Wheel HLS

A package can be worked out on parts & labor

What the hell is going on here!! The prices being thrown around here are ridiculous. Manthey was mentioned and anything from them is "millions".

Now how can a coilover system for the GT3/RS be $8K. A set of Motons is at best $5K. I'd do Motons before KW V3's.

I have the KW V3 coilover system in the E60 M5 and it is fantastic but the price was $2,300.

So again I do not understand these figures being thrown around.

I agree with member blked out and the prices are not cool.

The price's for the HLS system of $8k include completely new coilovers. The cost of the HLS kit alone is around $5k

this is cool. about 27 spoiler lips will pretty much pay for it (i'm on my 3rd in 8 months). anyone know the weight of the HLS system? i'd only be interested for the fronts.

The first kit has hit the US It is for 1badgt2

We have a second kit inbound We will be stocking the 997 GT3 / RS kit to minimize wait times - The upcoming kit will have the pump located next to the battery to allow full access to the trunk

It depends on what the spring diameter & shock body diameter is, I believe the TA coilovers are made by Bilstein

Are your springs linear or progressive? Is your TT a 996 or 997?

There is also a kit for the stock suspension.
