Am considering KW 1 for my estate. I know KW do a 4x4 kit, but nothing on their website about estate vs hatch. Is there a difference in the rears? Any estate 4x4 owners on here who have KW? Opinions?

thanks

Adam.

Yep, KW v1s on a 4x4 Estate. Mine have been great, the odd 'twonk' going on and off my steep angled drive as a result of the shorter springs on the rear but other than that, superb. Height adjustment works as well now as it did when first installed, much reduced roll and more than reasonable ride quality. Certainly better comfort wise than Cupra or Audi S-Line suspension. Demon Tweeks offer good deals. Recommended.

i dont know about how good the kw's are for the octy, but the vw lupo ones are top quality, i've used them on more than one lupo and they are better than any other i've used!

I've had them on mine for a good while now ,,, excellant. £595.71 (fitted).
One point, the standard estate sits up at the rear, I've got mine sitting almost level to alow for a bit of weight in the boot.
In this moad the rear wheel angle is deffo negative To compensate this I needed to fit adjustable tie bars from Forge Motosport (FMAUTB) £279.10.
Then they needed fitting & tracking. £169.14.

It's not just a case of slapping the KW's on, as you can see, but it has improved the handling by zillion %

Opinion is divided on that one, undoubtly the adjustable tie-bars are a good idea but depending on how low you go, they're not always necessary.
