They are pretty close, both being super high quality and a top-tier suspension. The main differences is that the KW's will have independent compression and rebound adjustments, where the Ohlins will have a single adjustment. Also the Ohlins will come with the top hats where the normal KW V3 will not, and also the KW's are a twin tube, where the Ohlins are a mono-tube. So there are some big difference between the 2, but I don't think you could go wrong with either one. The Onlins may make a better, install, do some minor adjusting and be done, where the KW's will take more to dial in, but you can dial it in to exactly what you want out of the suspension.

It's a tough choice either way you look at it

Thanks,
Rick

Indeed! When these came in I spent way too much time just looking at them, they truly are a work of art!

It will have a dust boot integrated into the bump stop. But it does not extend as far as the boots on the Ohlins.

Yeah that is a tough choice for sure! I don't think you can go wrong with any of those, just depends on the price point you want for a set of coilovers. All 3 are great for the price though
