KW Variant 3 Coilovers ULTIMATE Review! 12 years ~95,000 miles on street & track!

It was time for new dampers so we went in-depth after pulling the 95,000 mile / 12 years old KW Variant 3 off of our '92 NSX. Detailed inspection of wear & tear, threw them on a shock dyno to see if they were still actually doing damper things, and covered some design changes that the V3s have seen in the past decade. Enjoy what may be the most thorough coilover review on YouTube.
