Apart from the spring rates, what I don't like about the Sachs and Bilstein is the stock spring size. Could probably lead to clearance issues if using wide wheels?

Our US KW V3s are softer now (they changed them a few years back), so I think US and EU V3s are the same. Good luck!

Thanks for that info. It was the same in Europe (changed a few years back too). Seems like a lot of US websites need updating. Most list the V3 as 6/7 spring rates.
As far as I know, the only differences between V3 and Clubsports (2 way), are the spring rates. And warranty (5 years vs. no warranty at all!). If the dampers are valved different or not would be interesting.
Clubsport is sold with and without top mounts in Europe. Without they are almost the same price as V3 (V3 only about 100€/$ cheaper).

I have also e-mailed several Öhlins distribitors (including their Nürburgring center) to see if maybe they have one set left collecting dust somewhere, fingers crossed

I will definitely keep an eye on your solution! I saw you also contacted Öhlins, let me know what they tell you regarding the new R&T kit.

Yes I was in contact with Nurburgring center too, I doubt they are able to dig any MI20 up. But I think it's great more "complain". MI20 would still be my first choice if available.
Their product manager is supposed to write back to me after the new year as to why and what the benefits of the MP20 is. I'll keep you guys updated.
As for my ST XTA project, don't hold you breath. It will be somewhat slow progress as I am starting a new job, so my january/february will be focused on that. At the moment I am gathering the parts needed, but I don't know when I will have time to do an install, or if I'm even going to do it myself.
