As Per title has anyone had experience with KW suspension on a Dc2 or Ek9
for mainly road use with 3 or 4 track days a year.

Thanks
 
Just ordered the Variant 2 will have them in 2 to 3 weeks, when there fitted I will do a review.
 
whats the price on the KW variant's? havent seen many use them to be fair on any honda
 
hi mate. i have the kw V2 on my 9. Used it as a daily for 4 years orso. I have mine on the lowest in the rear and about 1 cm left on the front and on the stiffest configuration possible on the set. It's a sweet ride but i think it's very personal. The set is working sublime still.
 
V2 IMO

All KW will perform well. Don't think I have ever herd a bad word said about them.

V2 will allow enough adjustment without ruining the ride and performance. V3 you need to know what your doing IMO.

Hope this makes sense.

£1177 inc vat for the v2 got them from Demon tweeks very helpful, liked that they are stainless steel so should hold up better with daily use.

They are good mate. Ross used to use them on his golf, and Martin had them on his EK and they where V1's and where very good!
 
Look and sound very good, however the fact they aren't a dual perch design puts me off :(.
 
I had the KW V2's on my ek9 for a good few years and really liked them :)
 
I have a V1 on my EK4 and it's definately too hard for me to use daily.
My friend told me it's because I have a stripped interior and no weight in the back. So if you plan on stripping your car, don't buy a KW V1 :D

EP3 has a V2 and I love it!
 
Thanks for the info, ordered the v2's will be here next month, I better get on with putting the Teg back together!!!

How much spring preload are you running? They are quite sensitive to that. If you decrease preload on the rear (i.e. lower the vehicle), ride quality will improve significantly.

Does your front end bob up and down on the highway? Mine does.

If you could give me your wheel hub center to fender measurements it'd be great.
 
I'll be interested to hear your impressions. Please do share them once you have the coilovers installed.
 
Got V1s for road Accord Type R, they seem good. However for track I've heard V2 are miles better.
 
iam going for V3 next season ... 90% NoS...10% road

A few years ago i had a V2 in my Ep3 .. it was great !
