Had a nice parcel delivered after a crap day at work! A shiny set of KW's to replace the horrendous HKS coilovers currently fitted to the TWR S40.

I'm trying to return the car back to it's original spec, unfortunately TWR fitted Koni shocks & some brand of lowering springs. I thought long and hard about re-fitting Koni's (about 30 seconds!) Then promptly ordered the KW's, as in this case TWR were wrong with their suspension choice! lol

you wont regret buying them, i had kw's and they were 10 times better than the koni's i removed.
anyways, konis for the s40/v40 are no longer made.

Yeah that's the one, pic's once it's a bit more presentable. I think the before & after pics will divide opinion as I'm re-fitting the original headlights as it currently has black bezel xenons.

I didn't realise they were no longer available! I'll use that as my excuse for not keeping it 100% original, cheers!

It's a shame to hide them under the car! I nearly bought a set in 2006 for my V40, ended up going for FK's which was a mistake as I now need another set for my V40. A friend of mine still has his Kw's from 06 & they clean up like new. My Fk's look like they have been at the bottom of the sea!

Certainly a wise choice to buy them, they'll certainly last you a while for sure!! Got a KW set on my S70 and they still clean up like new with no signs of corrosion anywhere.
