WANTED: Pic of ACTUAL KW V3 for 370z

VancouverZ34 · 07-06-2010, 11:44 PM

I recently installed KW V3's on my Z.
However, when I opened the box, I was surprised because it did not have independent oil reservoir..
On the box, it says KW V3 inox line // part number : 352 85 007
It was shipped from KW automotive.
I would love to see anyone else with KW V3...
I know I should trust my local shop, but I'm keep thinking if I got FAKE or KW V2 or something...
Pictures would be much appreciated (I took some pics of mine but I can't figure out a way to move pics from my 4 year old phone to my computer...

)

Independent oil reservoir?? That's not KW V3. How about you post pics of the coilovers you got?

Anyways, KW V3 on a G37 (same part)

nogoodname · 07-07-2010, 12:11 AM

Here's the box...

Josh@STILLEN · 07-07-2010, 12:15 AM

I'd have to open the box on one.. but the photo they show on their website doesn't have one..

And there is only a Variant 1 and Variant 3, and you wouldn't have dampener adjustment on a Variant 1.. and your part number is correct..

Other applications like the GT-R do have an oil reservoir.. I'm sure it's based on the application..

That must be it. My set of V3 don't have oil reservoirs. It's proably one of those "Product may not be as shown" type things...lol

Thank you so much!! I can sleep well tonight!!

Oil reservoirs on KW V3 may not apply to ALL models.

I've seen a couple installations of V3 on a few different cars. Some of them have 2 oil reservoirs (rear or front only), some have 4 (front + rear), and some have none.

Can someone show me on these pictures, where the adjuster are on the kw3?

There are two adjusters on our version of the KWv3 - one in the top mount of the shock tube, and is turned via an allen wrench, and one in the bottom mounting of the shock, covered by a black cover that is slipped off and then thereby exposing a rotating knob with four holes to turn it with a thin rod.
