KW Clubsport 3way suspension kit, done and tested
really very good. yes the car is much stiffer now so it's difficult to drive through Prague on very bad roads, but still possible. On softest settings it's just on the limit for me to drive it on highways etc mainly due to chance for soft setup just by couple clicks.
on track it's night and day to stock. so much more stable, so much more sure. drive like on rails. probably also due to changer geometry, more negative camber, lower center of gravity etc. really happy with it kit installed near Nurburgring by this garage. They made really very good job. Done in couple hours, corner balanced, weighted, geometry done very precisely with discussion about usage etc. Highly recommended. |

to be honest I don't know. I told the mechanics I want to have it compromised between road and track and that I still plan to drive on roads not only tracks so they chose something which i think is stiffer than I would choose but than on track it's perfect

Yep as Lawsy says, but you can also buy them after if you want to try different rates.
For instance on Intrax 1K2 the softer road spings are 100kg/cm front and 50kg/cm rear. More track focused is 120/60 and hard mofeckers are 140/70 (iirc) I still run the softest ones, a few hear run the medium and I do not know of ny running the hard set up. The Intrax seems to cope with all three spring rates with the same valving.

Are you sure they adjust the valving? that would seem almost bespoke and bloody good value for a clubsport kit
