Has anyone had a longterm experience with KW's?

I've found a bunch of "just installed" posts. I was looking for longterm follow-up.

How have they held up? Any major failures ?

KW uses Koni based shocks so you can expect exactly what they offer, a lifetime suspension. The shocks are designed to outlast the life of the vehicle so you should not have to worry about replacements or failures down the line. KW is also very good about backing their suspension systems against quality issues so in the event you run into problems down the line, you will be fully supported. With that said, we run these kits on our own cars and have had customers run these for several years now...I can tell you based on the lack of warranty claims I have dealt with, these are a solid setup.

For the V2 ive seen prices from $1700 all the way up to $2300 shipped.

The V2 is the biggest bang for the buck IMO.

Fully adjustable with springs and shocks.
