KW Clubsports
Hi all. I had KW Clubsport suspension fitted yesterday.
The Clubsports are a development of the tried and tested KW V3 suspension, the main differences being that the Clubsports have a stiffer spring rate and come with adjustable top mounts as standard - designed with track use in mind. Initially i have the settings set to the middle whilst i see how i get on with them. The kit also drops the car by around 30mm once it has settled down a little. I was worried that the kit would be too harsh for everyday driving but so far i am very impressed. Even on their middle settings, it feels very similar to the OEM CSL suspension for comfort levels. OEM suspension: KW Clubsport suspension:

Glad to hear your happy with them Rob.
I'm really happy with mine just wish i knew what i'm doing with the adjustments lol. Let me know once you get some decent track settings on them and i'll give them a go I'm still using the ones Daz gave me and haven't tried anything else. |

I had Clubsport suspension on my old M3 which was excellent when set up properly, the only thing I didn't like, and only found out later on, was that it doesn't have a warranty as it's a purely track based kit?? Anyone else found this out?

I didn't have any problems with my Clubsport kit, but only had it on the car for a couple of months, but I could understand why a company wouldn't cover warranty on a piece of kit that is going to have the life hammered out of it on a track! They could effectively be replacing the components forever!! Although I could be wrong, just relaying what I had been told.
