  • Kw coilovers v3

    Hi there, wondering if you lovely lot could be of assistance, I'm looking at buying a set of kw v3 coilovers over the weekend, but I'm a little weary on the weight choices

    There's​​​​​​ -950 and 950 - 1100 axle weight ratings. Being a 92 3b s2 coupe which one is advised? The vehicle will be given a hard time both on track and the strip so want to make the correct choice as you can imagine.

    Using the search option I managed to find a suggestion to go for the heavier option then switch the front springs with the rear. Just wondering if anyone has any further opinions

    Thanks

          People who are only using the car on the streets typically go for the lower weights, to keep the ride more compliant.

          Those who want the most performance tend to opt for the heavier springs and then switch fronts to rear (and vice versa), to aid with handling. Word is, reversing the springs helps reduce understeer and promotes throttle-on oversteer.

          Hope this helps.

            Thanks very much for the help people. Have spoken to a few people including Albert who was recommended. Think I'm going to go for the heavier springs then play around with the springs and settings.

            Will be ordering these tomorrow, going to be an expensive day out!

                My boss gets discount, there's also an added discount which ends Monday. Getting them for 1290 delivered, I think it will be difficult to beat that
