View Full Version : KW V3 or clubsport?

I am struggling to actually want to change the suspension, as it's so focused as it is. so I may end up sticking with the stock suspension (maybe) but do like the V3 coilovers.

I know the differences, but ultimately this will be more road focused setup, though I will be doing the ring and spa.

Would the clubsport setup be wasted or too much for use on the road all the time?

If you are going aftermarket, I'd say go with the Clubsport. You get camber adjustment at the top mount (if you get more serious later), and the ride isn't actually that stiff.

That said, the factory setup is a very good compromise and by far the best on the road...

:wink: cheers Neil. Would not mind someone in the UK though, as import charges would be quite harsh :bigcry:

KW Clubsports are meant to be superb.

Personally I think the V3 is still the best 'road' based suspension i've tried over the years had it on my old E46 M3.

Better suited to the road than the Nitrons I was running and the Ohlins I have now imho.

I'm sure Lawsy will sort you out a good price, if not Balance Motorsport were pretty reasonable for KW stuff :)
