KW Varient 2 Coilovers...Who got 'em?

[brinskan]

I am planning on buying the variant 2s. Any experiences with the,, ride quality.. prone to blowing? Plus does anyone have pictures of them. I have seen pics of the intraz setup but have yet to se these.

Not sure if it helps but my girlfriend has KW Variant 1s on her A3 1.8Tqs and they work really well. –55mm drop but still good ride quality. Decided on Variant 1 to save setting up. The roads around here vary a lot. Here is a pic.

I kind of wanted to see how they look for the 90 because they require a core deposit

[4WheelDrifter]

Sorry, can't help you there.

I have those on my S2. Ride quality on bad roads isn't very good, but good roads and higher speeds it's very comfortable. The improved handling is awesome!





The result is LOW =)

Just out of interest. How much was the kit?

[rotoryboy]

Have a look here , looking around £750-£1200 dependant on which kit.

[4WheelDrifter]

Cheers. That's a cheaper site than we found. Unless prices have come down in last couple of years. They certainly improved the A3 no end. Not sure what the Audi sports suspension was about. Scared the hell out of me! Eibach ARBs next.

Hmmmm any1 else fitted these in the last couple of months?`

brinskan: What did you go for in the end?

Hi, can you tell me if KW used your own cores to build your kit or did they use someone elses core from a previous sale to make the setup.

I am concerned if I send them a perfect set of strut housings they will hold them for the next sale then use the strut housings from a previous sale that may have been pre-prepped to make mine.


Zlobo has this setup, he recently within months recieved it. Send him a PM

yepp i got mine on the car.. i can add some pic tomorrow how it looks with wheals on.

Greets Zlobo, did KW use the strut housings you sent them to make your coilover? can you tell?

[zlobo]

yes they did.. for s2 coupes you have to send all 4 of them. there is odering number for 12mm and 14mm and them there is odering number for over and under 950kg i think.

Hi,
Where are adjustments located for the compression and rebound? Are they at the top of the shock like konis?
Does the rear have an external adjustment so you don't have to take all the trim apart to get to adjustment?
Can any other dampner be used with these or just the KW set up?
What kind of retention is used for the dampner?
Are the struts cad plated or just painted?

its like koni, and the rear have external adjustmenst on top like the front one, I thin you can use any kind of damper it seams so,, the studs are cad plated.
