I bought the kw clubsport. It doesn't come with bearings but I think it was the best option for me.
I can sell you KW Clubsports 2 way brand new for 2k shipped. And if you ask about warranty? No KW does not give warranty

I have ohlins and I really like them. They are divorced but the rear shock has the ride height adjustability.

Iā€™m installing my Ohlins next week, did you need any unique tools for the install, also any hiccups?

It was pretty straight forward. The only hard part was getting the knuckles to spread to get the OEM shocks out. Word if advice though, Ohlins doesnā€™t specify which spring goes in the front vs the rear. USUALLY the thicker ones would go in the front. Not in this case.

I had mine assembled by 3DM so luckily I donā€™t have to fuss with which spring is which. But I heard torquing the front end link can be tricky, did you use any special tool?

To spread them (next time obviously), use an Allen wrench. Get one that just fits in the gap, twist it a bit and it should stay there with it open.

I have the tool for it (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M6GHM93/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_64ZPB70G7PT6NAKWDQ0G_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) but it wasnā€™t spreading it enough. Ended up using 2 7 or 8mm Allenā€™s to get them spread. Something like this would have been better though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1PGN7N7/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_DKSWYWGG1DY8Z8XKKPJW_0
