Title: KW Variant 3 Coilovers & Suspension
Post by: xdesign on October 20, 2005, 06:43
I came across yesterday a stand in an Athens exhibition of KW Suspensions. KW is a respected German suspension manufacturer, and lately they have produces a suspension kit for us.

http://www.kw-gmbh.de/en/30_Products/20_KW_Coilovers/30_Variant_3/index.php

They call it Variant 3 and it has the following benefits.

Bound adjustment
Rebound adjustment
Height adjustment
etc...

The quality looks very very good as they are handmade and galvanized.

Anyone knows more about them, or even tried them?

In the end they are just a kit among kits. Pick the one you like most  s8) 8) s8)

I've seen these in other cars and they seem to be the cheap choice for showroom lowering, but doesn't seem to do too well on a track. I'd get something else, though I have no idea about the set for MR2.

The Teins I have can do all this and they have independant bound-rebound and damping springs.

The Racing Gear are slightly more expensive than KW (200 Euros here ni France) so I prefered giving them a run.

KW is very very "average" in some applications

The Variant 3 is a new kit which also fits the MR2.
The simple suspension kit doesn't say much, that I know.
