If you are OK with deleting the DDC then you can easily go the ST route and it will handle wonderfully on the street. Just remember to factor in the KW DDC delete kit into the cost. A lot of enthusiasts go for the feasible option and forget to cancel out their DDC and are stuck with lights on their dash.
For Honda FK 2012- (UK model) only KW V1 or V3, so ST XA will provide rebound adjustability for a better price (~1000 Euro). V3 is twice the price of ST XA. I have the nose heavy 2.2 diesel which means rebound cannot be same as for petrol versions since this is pre-set as is maximum axle load. Inbound/rebound adjustable would be best but the V3 is too expensive for this kind of daily driver. Note except for V3 kits do not come with top mounts.
We weren't lucky enough to get the FK2 in North America so we have no point of reference for this vehicle but if you are considering the V3 then have a look at the ST XA Plus 3 if available, that will be the best bang for buck.
Just remember the fact that the V2 and V3 have damping adjustment alone means it will ride better than the V1, even if they share the same height, spring rate and preload settings. That is why we are looking at competing product lines within KW and ST so why you would choose a ST xta plus 3 vs kw v3 for example.
@@Jrponline wow. It get more complicated as I learn more as a newcomer. Then that means that the v3 is more ride comfortable than the v2? Anyway, if that were the case then the V2 comparable ST would be perfect but apparently none of the ST line fit my car which is a Scion Xd. Weird. Only the V3 supposedly works on my Scion Xd.
Oil additives do work to extend life or add certain properties to oil however the base oil is always what matters. Having something like a high grade ester based oil will always be better than a budget brand low grade oil.
I love finding out the umbrella companies - this is great. TireRack sells ST coilovers and never heard of them, but now I know. Very helpful.
Kw bought St so both Manufactured with the same principles
was waiting for you guys to say that ST is owned by KW...dropped the ball
I choose st xa
Good and hilarious vid! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'm considering the ST to lower my 5 door Jimny
Compared to the KW V1 for the golf r. Would the ST X’s still feel as good on the road? I’d delete my dcc

@@Jrponline I’m out in Arizona so rust isn’t a thing which is more points for the ST’s

Awesome!!
OHLINS episode co lab video in the future bruh!!!
I have a 2019 Subaru WRX and I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. It gets hella cold here. If I put on covers will I be okay with ST’s?
Kw's all the way
They’re the same
What i dont understand though is wether the v1 will ride just as comfortable as the v2 and v3 if set at the same heightbfor daily driving.

Are you guys into that low lyfe!??
would guys say if i buy the ST i get some snow not a lot. i live in TN and i put shock covers would that be good?
If you are putting shock covers on them over winter you will be fine with the ST's
Oil additives do they work especially one called cerma

Both are good, made by the same Nedertland company, KW, Europe! Depend of your pocket!

St xa better for mini cooper s jcw kompressor year 2005?? 210hp,used good streets and sport driving
Not super fast😂😂
That's a perfect setup yes, the KW Clubsport and ST XTA plus 3 might be overkill for a regular street driven JCW.
I need kws for my 944 Ben!
you got it!
St x or st xa ?
ST XTA +3 all day!
@@Jrponline What do you think is better for comfort? St x or st xa?
xa has an external damping adjustement, x has a fixed damping so you can only fix height

I thought KW purchased ST?
yep, it did
The big guy is suffering from.... i think im funny, but i aren't.. syndrome.
Over priced and generic
In that cold weather , your knob prob is quite smaller than normal lmao
