Edition507

Selling the KW v3's that I bought brand new after getting an awesome deal on the KW Clubsports. I barely had the KW v3's installed for a couple months on my 507 that is a garage queen/Sunday driver only. I do not daily drive my c63 507 and may have put 400 miles at the very most on this kit that I bought brand new from SupremePower in Placentia, California. They are also willing to help with accepting credit cards and delivering the v3's to you- anywhere you like. For pictures of the entire kit- please click the link below:

Would this fit the coupe?

Edition507

Will do- thank you!

Edition507

Not sure if it will fit on coupe and will ask KW. The installation instruction do have Sedan listed.

I have V3s on my coupe - not one issue.

Edition507

Did your KW instructions booklet also have "sedan" on it where it reads technical data?

Mazspeed

Ok, let me know. Thanks.

gmaschine

They will fit and everything is exactly the same physically.

The only difference is that the coupes vs sedan are valving on the shocks. I believe the coupes are have softer rate.

Edition507

You are correct- KW confirmed with the following statement:

Thank you for contacting KW. The majority of the parts for the kit made for the sedan and the kit made for the coupe are the same. The only difference is the front progressive spring. Even though we don’t have a set rate for it I assume the spring for the sedan will be a bit less than the coupe. The lowering range is the same on the front in both kits, 0.2-1.2. I believe you will be ok with this, can’t guarantee anything since there are dedicated numbers for each model, but theoretically you should be ok.

KW emailed me the following that I also emailed over to you and can forward the original email if you would like:

Hi Dino,

I'd be very interested to get your feedback between the two. Do you think the CS would be ok for a daily driver? Do you have the front adjustable camber?

I just got the Clubsports and will install over the holidays. I totally will use it every day.
Yes, they come with camber plates in the front but use the stock top mounts in the rear.

OT:

Are you planning on running the camber plates that come with the KW Clubsports or upgrade them to the K-Mac camber plates?

I've read that the K-Mac's are designed so you when run more negative camber, they slide underneath the shock tower. Where-as the KW CS, you have to cut up the shock tower for additional clearance.

Wobble64

I have K-Macs right now, so could reuse them. The K-Macs allow camber AND caster adjustment, the KWs only camber. I will see when we do the install.

The strut towers have a wide elongated hole on top for the shock tip. I doubt anything will need to be cut.

Mazspeed

Ok great. If you have sold these, I would like to take a stab at them after x-mas. The springs are not a big dal and I would not lower the car more than 0.2 and can have a custom wound re-spring if needed, but I don't think that would be necessary. Does this tie into the computer at all? Also forgive me if I missed it, but how many miles are on the kit? Thanks again for getting that info.

Edition507

Kit is still available and will PM you if still avail after Christmas. The kit was used for 400 road miles at the very most until learning about the KW Clubsports. No tie into the computer, but I'm sure any decent suspension shop could easily remedy and install the kit on the coupe for you.

Edition507

Yes, CS is fine for daily use; as you change the setting in the front with the camber plates, linear spring, so won't be the same as a progressive spring on the streets...the v3's also have the same adjustments, just not as much range.

Mazspeed

Ok, if you still have them after X-mas I will be picking them up. Timeline may vary a little but not much. Where are you located and do you have detailed photos of them? Can you send the pics to me if you have some time? mazspeed@yahoo.com


Thanks

I bought KW Clubsports and installed them in November. At the same time I bought Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R tires and had a really good suspension tuner do what he called a 75/25 Track/Street alignment, set the ride height and corner balanced the car. I installed them with the stock compression and rebound settings. First track day (Buttonwillow, CA) was amazing! My car was completely stock before and this totally transformed the car, my lap times dropped by 8 seconds! For my next track day I will go a few clicks stiffer on the dampening to suit my taste. The stock compression and rebound settings are very stiff on the street, so I tried full soft on both compression and rebound dampening. The car was at least as comfortable as the stock suspension. So there is a really good range of adjustment. All adjusters are easy to access except the rear rebound dampening. I had to drill a small hole above them to access the adjustment. I plan on getting a long 2mm allen and pressing it into the stock KW adjuster knob and press through the trunk carpet so I can easily change between track and street use. Like you, my car is a daily driver and track car.

Wobble64

Great to hear! Can't wait to get my set installed. They'll go in next Tuesday.
I will try to keep the K-Mac camber plates instead of the Ones the struts came with. That way I will have not just camber, but also caster adjustability, plus can adjust without having to remove the strut. I am not sure yet they will fit and have the same rod diameter and height, but it might fit.
We'll also try to install fixed Allen keys on top of the rear shocks for easy roadside adjustability.
