These look pretty interesting. They basically took a set of KW V1's, revalved them for linear springs, and had some different colors done.
The spring rates are 672/504lb, so that's actually soft in the front. The rear is about spot on though.

The droop isn't only how long the shock is it also needs the helper spring which no other non true type that I am aware of has. Without it even if you lengthen the shock at a certain point the spring will no longer have any force on it to hold it in place and will rattle around and possibly fall side ways.
I'm actually considering dropping my rates for street to a 10/9 as the 12/11 is a little firm but not terrible, so it sounds like a good street setup and it would compare to the v2 that kw doesn't actually offer.
