KW Clubsport...good or bad?

phoenixcsl · 15-05-2012, 09:12 AM

All,

Whats the consensus of KW Clubsports for the CSL?

Thinking of changing my Nitrons, still not happy with them at all, rather than spending more money on them I may sell them and put that towards a different setup.

Had the KW V3's on my old E46 M3 and they were brilliant for road driving if a little limited on the track, but still a overall they were excellent.

Are the CS kits any good?

How do they adjust? do they have a twister knob on the top and a separate adjuster with a pin at the bottom like the V3's?

Any views on the CS kits?

I have KW Clubsport and have found them very good indeed when set up correctly. I have the older kit with seperate adjusters.

The newer versions have the easier single adjuster knob i believe.

Still not sorted then?
Did Simpson not look into the knocking?

My radical idea is to leave alone and stick with stock suspension...

Fraid not Alex.

They did, but could find nothing wrong, so rather than throwing more money at it i'll get something else and cut my losses.

Strangely the rear ride height on the Nitrons, they couldn't get it much below stock height, so the car looks / feels unbalanced as the front is lower than the rears.

no such issues with my old NTR Track set of Nitrons - were yours an older set as i know couple of years ago early Nitron users had some trouble getting them to set up properly.

Toby seems a shame to start from scratch again. I really would get in touch with Nitron and insist they take a look at them on the car FOC. Something doesn't sound right and sure they will be to sort if anyone, unless it's car related but doesn't sound like it.

Spoken to previous owner to see if he had any similar issues?

Alternatively your more than welcome to come down to me and compare like for like and set up on mine.
