KW V3 Coilovers feel stiffer over time?
I have KW V3's and I am not too sure if I am just feeling the effects of a harsh winter on our roads or if my coilovers actually feel like they are getting stiffer.
Myself aswell as my girlfriend have felt like the ride quality has gotten noticeably harsher over the past month or so. I have had my coilovers since August and used them through the winter and it was a pretty damn cold winter this year. The roads around my house aren't the smoothest but I'm not going through big pot holes. I havent made any adjustments to the suspension since August. So is it possible for the coilovers to get more harsh? I felt like the ride was quite enjoyable but lately I just constantly notice how harsh and bumpy everything is. One of the reasons I went with the KW's was due to the streetability of them. |

Harsher = shocks wearing out. Nothing is "stiffer".

The roads around here have degraded into hell.
You can try taking a click or two out of rebound. - Andy |

I didn't think my car felt any harsher... and I actually like it harsher! lol
Anyways.. if anything, KW-V3 has a limited lifetime warranty.

Thanks guys, I kind of thought it was a stupid question.
Its quite possible that its a combination of the poor roads and the oil being a little thicker at the cold temperatures, its been down around -20C but last few days have been around 0C and have noticed the same. |
