KW Clubsport Coilovers.

http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...Coilovers.aspx

MotoIQ did an article on installing KW Clubsports on their Project FR-S. No feedback yet on handling improvement, stiffness, or ride quality.
I like the idea that you can a "track ready" coilover, hopefully with good damping on the street, and not have to service it all the time.

The 3 way KW Clubsports are pretty cool. We had a test set on an Impreza a while ago.

Just a note, those are Vorshlag camber plates, not Racecomp Engineering camber plates.

Yeah they said they couldn't get some of the settings right with the KW camber plates.
How was ride quality and track performance?

I didn't realise they were available as 2-way. I had only known them as 3-way. My apologies.

unless you live at the track i do not see a point in these. if majority of your driving is on the Street you'll be better suited with a v3 or an RCE t2 is you want something stiffer/better tailored for handling.
