I just noticed AW11... are you on MR2OC? I had a MKI and MKII.... MKII had a BEAMS... although that R32 is what really caught my eye first.
R32 GTRs will be legal for important to the states soon... |

Are you thinking of importing the R32?

Just a pipe dream... I know it's an old car and doesn't really hold up to today's performance cars >.<

I followed an fr-s on KW V3 with their standard rates and valving in the hill countries. First thing I noticed was the ride frequency is quite high. I can see the rear oscillate up and down a few times quickly when going over bumpy country roads. With even higher spring rate than stardard V3 coilovers, does the car "bounce" a little when traveling at highway speeds? What happens when you drive over a big pothole? I'm very curious about the ride quality because I'd love to disconnect the rear sway bar and still have enough roll stiffness. |

How much are you charging for those custom valved KW's you got, @robispec ? Do you offer revalving service for KW dampers? |

So they are not revalved KW V3 but revalved Clubsports with only rebound damping adjustment or does it have a compression adjustment as well?

I'd bet you still carry it in your wallet. Was an EVO V IIRC.

Can you work your magic with KW V3's as well? Or do you only deal with the club sports?

After looking at the photos and specs on the V3 vs the clubsport it doesn't appear to be anything physically different between the 2 besides the valving and spring rates and the top hats. Am I wrong? Both are 2-way adjustable damping and do not have a external reservoir and essentially the the same damper bodies, shafts, and piston size.

correct the V3's are sold as a "street" solution and they need to fall into a specific frequency and spring range to meet TUV certifications. Clubsports push the envelope of what you can get done with these casings/shafts and valve sizing they are meant more for the track. I have a race solution coming out that dramatically alters the rebound pistion size and type like on the Evolution dampers KW builds for Me.
