Have Skunk 2 Pro S II, rough ride…

looking at the KW v3.

If anybody has any real world feedback I’d love to hear it!

The goal is a firm yet smooth ride, not jarring.

I currently have all the braces, some poly bushings, ASR rear brace w/ASR 23mm rear sway bar, stock Si front sway bar, sitting on 15x8 57dr rims with 205/50/15 tires.

 

I've had KW V3's on 5 different Civic's/Integra's that I have owned, by far the most comfortable yet firm coilover I have ever driven on.

Don't get caught up in spring rates, people complain the KW's are "soft" since they use a progressive spring, what you are paying for is the valveing inside the body. I currently have them installed in my 98 ITR with all hardrace bushings and the car drives beautifully, I have taken it to the track for some lapping days and zero issues. The only thing I would do is firm up the compression and rebound from the recommended settings in the manual (Only a couple clicks as each change is pretty noticeable)

Right now im waiting on a custom set of V3's with custom valveing and spring rates for my track civic, can't wait to try them out.

 

thanks for the feedback!

didn’t realize they also offered custom valving and springs?

 

No problem, They do offer it but at a price, about double the price if not more. The v3's will be great for a street car that see's the odd track/lap day. My civic is a dedicated track car now, caged, aero etc

 

Agsin really appreciate your time in your response. I’ll probably pull the trigger on a set next year!
