On the flipside, while the front struts were nearly identical, the two rears were significantly different indicating a manufacturing or design issue. That was a bit disappointing because they are otherwise good. For example they should be run 3-4 clicks different in order to produce the same force.
I wouldn't go for V2's because they are more like a traditional twin-tube (like Konis) and have no compression adjustment. The V3 has a pressurized gas reservoir front and rear.
My general impression is that they're a good middleground setup for $2k. Certainly a step-up from the entry level sub-$1k options, but not at the level of Clubsport/MCS/JRZ but those are double the price.
Also, I have heard KW rebuild cost is high, so unless you're the original owner it might not be the best option. They have a lifetime warranty for the original owner.
