I didn`t paid anything, because my Truck was used for the Developtment. I did the Install by myself and my Wheels are 8,5x20 Offset 39 with 275/45R20 Hankook.

Are you a mechanic or something? how difficult was the install? Also under what conditions did you adjust the three variants on....on the street or track?

more or somthing...

Install is easy, aprox. 1-1,5 hours.

i donīt understand your last question? The V3 is full adjustable, that means u can Adjust the Bump(compression) and Rebound on front easy, the rear its a little bit harder to adjust.

Re: lowering ridge - bad experience

How did you adjust your rear camber? Is there another component that is not pictured? What would the V3 kit cost us?

It's not a bad thing mind you, just feels like your in a sports car. Is that how yours felt?
What kind of tires do you have on your 20"s? I'd like to lift my Ridgeline and get dubs also, but I'm thinking about putting some truck tires on it then, probably BFG AT TA/KOs. I'm hoping that the larger sidewall will help keep the ride softer.
