Is there a big jump between the V2's and the V3's?

I don't think you can add the canisters but they were part fo the variant 3 package a long time ago iirc. A mate of mine had the V2 which actually used Koni rear dampers

Mine have remote reservoirs. They were brand new about 10months ago.

Quite a few of the Vee Dub boys use them, and really recommend, not that they go fast though, its all about low and slow.

well I mine were a grand, checked and mine definately are V3's. Would have thought they would be alot more expensive if they came with remote canistors.

Porkie were yours for the porsche? Guessing they were alot more then a grand?
