What Nut Goes On KW V1?
I'm getting things ready to install a used set of KWV1's. The one's I got were from a member here on NAM. They did not show up with the top nuts for the coilovers. I ordered OEM top nuts thinking they would be the same. Well guess again, no.
So the question is, what type of nut and size should I get for these? And do I have to get them from KW or can I simply pick these up at the local hardware store?

You could pick them up at the local hardware store. I'd recommend a locking nut to help prevent it from backing off. Unfortunately I don't know the size/thread pitch. You should be able to measure the thread diameter and that would at least give you the size (m__) and then you just buy a bolt in all the thread pitches (likely only two or three). Or you could take a shock to the hardware store with you.

For others that run into this issue, you may have get these nuts from KW directly. I tried the 5 or 6 hardware stores in town, 1 out of town, and even tried ordering online. While ordering them online was going to work it was going to potentially going to take 2 weeks to get.
I ended up getting them KW directly and paid way more in shipping than the parts cost me. Perhaps you'll be luckier than myself, but these are evidently specialty parts.
