Jacky bro, Z's facility is really good. Many times bigger than their old one. When's your goodie arriving?

The 405mm disc is really hugh, barely fit my 20" rims. KWV3 is really impressive, just like the others said in their review. Need to really test my gears with spirited driving.

Very nice RC3, the KWV3 are wonderful. I had them for 3 weeks now. Initially they made it a bit stiff, 2 clicks anti clockwise with the Ellen key did the trick. My ride is comfortable without the floating feel and takes corners with much gusto now.

Love your Brembos.... are they GT? Awaiting your feedback on just installing front only.

Absolutely, st. KWV3 makes the car more planted to the road. Cornering is excellent. Very comfy and the boucy-ness that used to have is gone.

What setting do you have now? Now I am right in the middle for the 14 settings for front and rear. Will try stiffer later, +2 front and +1 rear.

I have the Brembo GT BBK system, 6-pots with 405x32mm 2-piece rotors. Haven't gone crazy with them yet. Let you guys have the review later.

Hi RC3, not very sure how the workshop set it up. I will ask them when I go to the workshop on Wed. My F14s will be in tomorrow at long last. Mod list will be almost complete. Brembos, I'm not sure I want to take that plunge... will depend on pocket situation and your feedback.

Hi guys,

I am planning for my F10 purchase and trying to find some photo of the Oyster/Oyster interior. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any "real" photo in 5post.com. Anyone in Hong Kong has this color combination? It will be very helpful if you can post some picture....Thanks!

Here u go bro... taking from my iPhone 4s... lighting not ideal.... hope pic quality good enough for u to see properly.

I love oyster interior at first sight, it really does give the luxurious feel to F10. However, I would have opt for black/oyster if given a choice. My SE didn't tell me that there was another black/oyster option and just went ahead with oyster/oyster. Or it could be this was the last unit. Need to keep an open mind for maintenance though.

Once u feel it is a pain to maintain, the joy of getting your desired interior could fade.

Still love my F10 though.

the KWV3 is actually very comfortable, very much like stock but way better in handling. now I'm with neutral setting, will set it a bit harder later.

RC3, my installer told me mine set in very comfort level... 4 front 6 back (7 being middle). That's because I told him comfort is more important for me. I hate nauseous feeling from hard suspensions.

Same installer also bring in Brembo GT but he says better to stick to 365mm instead of 405mm... something to do with brake bias with stock brakes at the back. He is 2nd pro that told me that.

Hope to hear postive feedback on your end.

Check out this thread bro. Not a comprehensive report, but I haven't really have a chance to do a spirited driving yet.

Really? My shop never told me that. Mostlikely you are right about the disk size but I opted for the look of the huge disk. I haven't notice any adverse effect yet though.

I already found the middle settings for the KWV3 too soft for me at the moment especially when I did crazy cornering. Will kick up a notch or two later.
