KW Variant 1 Coilovers...thoughts?

But GT cars have air conditioning!

Racecars make lots of noise.

Racecar would not run heavier cast wheels...would run a light forged wheel.

This is for sure a street car.

You will need to machine the spring hat of any GC/IE camber plate as they made for 2.5" springs, whereas the KW use a 60mm spring.

I just did this recently and have my IE plates fitted to my KW V2 ready to install next weekend :)

GC makes stuff for 60mm springs. You just have to select the appropriate block in the drop down menu.

Ok great. So as long as i replace the usual suspension parts that are worn and put the KWs on and some GC camber plates i really should have a sweet setup then. Heres a pic of what the KWs look like on POs E30:

do you know KW prone on leaking? my buddy M6 he has KW V3 less than 1k it's leaking. my other friends M3 same issue. if i were you i ask the previous owner the receipt. just for the warranty purposes IMO.

Yeah, KWs do leak some times. I've heard of people picking up their Comp. Package Vipers (which come with KWs) and finding shock fluid under the car. Still a nice shock though, enjoy the new hardware!
