I thought about those for a while, but I had KWs on my VW and LOVED them. I figured I'd just stick to what I know works. Plus, KWs get great reviews from other S2000 people. I kept trying to convince myself to settle for something cheaper, but once I get something in my head, I've got to have it. If I had gone a different route, I'd be kicking myself the whole time. I think I'm going to take my time with this one and really do everything just the way I want.

With that said, I've never heard anything bad about the T1Rs. For 95% of people I'm sure they work just as good as anything else.

Did you order V3s?

I do appreciate that the KW line comes with a lifetime warranty. If you ever need to have something repaired, all you have to do is ship it to 'em.

Yeppers, I got the V3s.

Do you happen to know of any place you can order KW springs from? I want to order a couple different spring rates.

Why do those KWs look like that? Are those with RaceComp specific parts?

Yeah I can't read the label on the bottom, but they're built just like KWs. They're just the wrong colors. That's why I thought they might be KWs with some custom parts on them. What are they if not KWs? They look just like KWs.

They are KW Variant 3s.

They are KWs. They carry the full KW warranty, are spec'd by Race Comp Engineering and come in those colors. RCE has a few different spring rates available as well.

Ahhh, gotcha. I thought they were KWs. I'll give them a call in a little while and check on some other spring rates.

Cool. Myles and Drew are good people. If they can help you, they will bend over to do so.
