Anyone have any thoughts on KW V3 for DD and occasional aggressive canyon carving?

Great suspension and at the right settings, can ride better than stock. You have to know what you are doing since it's all too easy to mess up the ride/handling with the 2-way or be happy with the recommended settings. IMHO, I'd stick with a single adjustable.

Best single adjustable? No price limit.

I'm sure you know my answer, but I'm biased

But if we're talking no price limit? Probably the JRZ RS1s

Though honestly id save some money and get the kw from someone like RCE or Elite and they could help you setting them up. As long as you only adjust one thing at a time your cant mess it up too bad.

Plus with the price diff you can get some spl lcas, camber plates and a good alignment

either way take more time and ask more questions. talk to suspension gurus since you do get a point where diminishing returns arent worth it unless you are chasing tenths imo

^completely agree. I like to mess around with settings, so I prefer a single adjustable, but if you're a "set and forget" kind of guy, I would agree that a well set-up 2-way adjustable would be much better. Like we talked about after we swapped cars that one time, dampers are only one part of a "system", you already have a lot of tire, so I think you would really benefit from a good performance alignment.

But hey, he asked and I gave him my straight answer now put the wallet away and sleep on it before you make any rash decisions lol
