Title: KW Variant 3 coiloverkit - does anyone run these?
Post by: Bugster_MR2 on May 23, 2016, 16:13
Hi

I searched and found a few topics  about the kw variant 3 coilover kit. But there is no user experiences. Does anyone on this forum run this kit?

Is it to harsh for my road car? I can get my hands on a set for an acceptable price...

I run them on z3mc for a few years now, street only, and very pleased. Springs are progressive (except on V3 comp) so can be set up very smooth.

What's an acceptable price?  s:) :) s:)

I think there is a new member that has these. Paul something...

He claims that they are absolutely fantastic. Butm his is a dedicated track car, although if they are the same coilovers that im thinking of, I would imagine them to be a bit harsh.

If they're what I'm thinking of their spring rates are considerably lower than other after market offerings which 'suggests' they'll be fine. But KW V3s are a lot of money to spend if you then change your mind.

About 800quid is the asking price for a new set in box. Owner trashed his 2 and never installed the kit.

Indeed that's a great price.

In case you decide to pass... could you connect me with seller? I would take them.
