Whats up everyone, any of you guys have kw suspension?? I heard pretty good reviews on it but i just need some more input before i order them. Leme me know how your experience with these are!

 

they make ST which is what i run on my em1....badass stuff

 

I run variant 2's on my Integra. So far they are excellent for streetability, i havent tracked them yet though. The rates are 350 front (progressive) 450 rear (progressive) on mine (thats what the engineer at KW said anyways).

The damping is very very good. The coilovers arent unbearable on the street like some brands that throw on some stiff as springs and pay no attention to the dampers, adn then call that a track setup. I can make 1 3/4 turn of the adjustment **** (i call 1 soft and 7 stiff) so i call them 7 way adjustable, this is the rebound mind you, not the compression. I run the front on 2 and the rear on 3. Im not sure but i think the instructions online said to not run them on full soft nor hard. So far the have been good on the street and the streets here suck, they are horrible. Im not saying you wont feel anything, but they are much much better than say the KSport i had on my previous car.

 

I had V3's on my old EG and DC, amazing coilovers. Way nicer than cars with TEIN or the knock offs ie: K-sport, Skunk2 etc

Even the V1's were nice when the shop manager took me for a ride in his car so smooth on the road.

The V3's worked wicked on the track and on the street, real easy to adjust just like the guy above me said.

 

^ it seems like the shock body is super tall and that the suspension would be ridding on the bumpstop when the car is on the ground jst my .2 cents.
BUT never ridden on a car with those.

 

Well the shock does not have independent height adjustment like many others, so it seems very long because of that. All the springs have preload on them, when i installed them on the car like that (all the way down) i was tucking tires all around. The car has been raised more since those pictures. Sitting on a finger gap in the front and 1/2 a finger in the rear and i have to raise it more still because the roads here suck dick. My WS2s resonator is scraping on everything.

 

Since KW shocks are made by a little known company called KONI, why not get Koni/GC for less?

Edit* I'm gonna have to recant my statement.

Still Koni/GC > KW

 

I might later on buy swift springs and assist springs and throw them on. The springs are very long though, 12" front and 11" rear, one or the other, either way they are huge.
