http://www.kw-suspensions.eu/int/kw_variant_2.phpI thought the only difference is material. V2 is adjustable height/rebound but my kit contains front rebound adjustable.. rear not adjustable  |

I think if you push it all the way in you can turn it to adjust it or something.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Pull the plastic cover back, compress the shock fully, press and hold the small metal button (button on the side of the shick under the plastic cover), twist the shock - thats how it works for our kit anyway.________________________________________ Clio 182 FF |

Look nice! Are they adjustable?Although I couldn't be happier with the arse of our Rallye. Perhaps that's more to do with the solid beam mounts, 25mm TB's and Hybrid ARB  ________________________________________ GTI-6 & RallyeRallye gets sideways in the wet at Snetterton |

Some of the Koni buttons only adjust on full extension - that kept my cousin busy for a while trying to work out why they wouldn't adjust on his 106  ^^Yes the AST are adjustable. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Adjustable and can be completely tailored to your needs - same as Phil's in that respect (although minus quite a few other tricksy bits) ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I don't think they are KW V2's in the pic, maybe V1's which are not adjustable. KW V2's, you don't fully compress them. You just push the button down and turn the strut until the button pushes right in, you'll feel it drop further in. Then when the button is right in you adjust the shock to suit. Theres only 3 settings though, its not infinetly adjustable like the fronts. Oh, and there only Koni casings, they have KW internals apparently, doubt theres much difference though. ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

Ah that's right I now remember f*cking about for ages trying to fully compress them! Whilest pushing a button and twisting I nearly broke my own arm and Dave's in the process That's all that's stuck in my brain - completely forgot the fact that we never needed to fully compress them  ________________________________________ GTI-6 & RallyeRallye gets sideways in the wet at Snetterton |

They have changed the V2's since I bought mine ? They have rebound adjustment on the front now I think instead of compression ? and the rears are there own casings but prob just the same internals as before ? Those in the pic are def V2 |
