I will pm you. Myles Myles, If you get a free moment, mind posting what the differences are? I'm only curious because I like knowing about this stuff. Is that a 4/4 spring rate? Thanks.

RaceComp Engineering Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 We tweeked the valving which was already good, but we wanted a wider range in the rebound area. We use the higher quality, more linear KW race springs, and thats it. Oh and our price point is lower than KW's off the shelf V2. We also ship these assembled, with ride height pre-set with Spec-B top hats. It becomes the easiest coilover install a person can do. This also allows you to keep your OEM Stock set up in the corner of your garage so if you sell your car, or trade it , you can take 2 hrs and reinstall the stock stuff and sell your assembled coilover ad get cash back........INSTEAD of the usaul for most of us.....the dreaded trade it with the good stuff on it..ONLY to have the dealer complain about it. Then your wife and or Fiance/ GF is nagging you in the finance office...." see this is why I hate when you modify the car....why cant you just leave it alone...." !! I have experience in this !!

peteyjr Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Are the spring rates substantially higher? Does it ride stiffer than the reg Version? I'm interested but don't want too stiff of a ride . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceComp Engineering Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Spring rates are not necessarily substantially higher...but we can do custom rates for track guys. The low piston velocity valving is tweaked to maximize performance, but digression ensures high velocity valving is there to soak up bumps, whether they be mid-corner bumps on the track or big stupid broken pavement you can't see coming on my way to my mom's house for Christmas dinner..... Comfort is quite good. - Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 What are the advantages of Spec B top hats? Maybe I will get these for the wagon and see how I like them. I've loved them on my sedan and I've had them for almost two years now.... If your setup is better than the typical KWV2 setup, perhaps I will send you my sedan's setup and have you "tweak" them; if possible. Both cars are mainly driven on a track, so handling>comfort.

Levish Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 spec b top hats are made out of hugs and rainbows (also stiffer rubber compound that flexes less) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangcla Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I've got KWs and I like them better than my stock shocks and kg-mm springs. Out of curiosity, what damper settings would you all recommend for daily comfort driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Well, they are adjustable to your taste! Set it in the middle and cruise around, take it over some bumps. Adjust as needed! I set mine just a bit tighter than the middle settings. And I think it's one click tighter in the rear. Been a couple years since I have done it. Buy my cars!
