KW Coilovers

[Carlos Fandango]

Can someone please post a picture of the rear in car bolted up please?

Cheers

Jonathan

 

[drhowser]

Any use?

 

[drhowser]

Actually, no. That's not in car at all is it.....

If it's the top mount you're after I don't think I've got anything.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

It is the other end I'm after, could you take a pic for me PLEASE.

Are they V3's?

Regards

Jonathan

 

[drhowser]

They are the two way competition kit, I'll see what I have, but the car is in birmingham and I'm in essex at the moment....

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Just not sure about the rear, is it a rubber bush with a large washer held by a nut? Also how tight as it just seems to squash and squash?

 

[drhowser]

That's the best I can do I'm afraid.

It's been like that for a couple of years and a lot of track days if that helps any?

 

[Carlos Fandango]

How tight that rear nut?

 

[drhowser]

I couldn't tell you to be honest, Fred might be able to tell you more.

KW v2 rear strut top...

 

[Carlos Fandango]

At what point did you decide to stop tightening?

 

[Gray]

When I couldn't tighten anymore

 

[shiyan]

I feel there's still too much body roll with the V2

 

[Fred@BTM]

body roll is good! sideways = funways!

 

[shiyan]

body roll is good! sideways = funways!

does this look ok?

Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tires

 

[Fred@BTM]

no, your not smiling!

 

[shiyan]

no, your not smiling!

Hehe good point

With the fiance

everyone thinks a car should be rock hard with zero roll, this is wrong

weight transfer is a great thing if you know how to use it/react to it

the rear on KW's could do with being a bit harder, but then it would not be for your average driver (back end would be always stepping)

you tried a rear anti roll bar, they work well!

the rear anti roll bar really improved the turn in of my 172.. really sharpens up the feel of the rear end

Ah I've not tried one

yeah the turn in is something that I do wish was a bit sharper sometimes - I often resort to some trail braking to get the car turning
