Check these out. Look nice. Anyone have any experience with the XTA line? Looks like a KW V2....

"For those who demand the absolute best performance comes the ST XTA coilover."

The marketing force is strong with this one.

Lol.... Show me a coilover brand that doesn't do this.....

Seems like they are a brand new line as no one has any reviews of them..... Anywhere.....

Maybe i'm a little late to help out here :p
But i'm looking in lowering my car so i contacted a really good suspension installer shop who told me the ST suspensions are practicay like the KW coilovers (they're sister-companies) and that the ST X is the equivalent of the KW V1 & the ST XTA is the equivalent of KW V3 :) the major difference between ST & KW is that ST is zinc coated where KW is all inox :) which also explains the huge difference in price! They are great suspensions kits though, at least that's what they told me! & true not many reviews cause not since long the old weitic changed to ST Suspension ;)
But in
The end it's kinda like this --> ST = great KW build quality & precision but gotta watch out if you live by the sea or in snowy areas :D
Hope it kinda helped out if anyone still needs (or maybe soon need) the info!

Grte

so this is the better version of the other ST coil? ST = V1, ST XTA = V3, how does it perform better? Springs, valving, etc?

Yup, at least that's what they told me :)
The normal ST is only adjustable in height, like the V1's.
The ST XTA is adjustable in height, damping and has fully adjustable top mounts (camber plates) :)
To be honest i don't know much about coilover systems, i can only tell you what the shop here told me... So for details on springs & valving maybe someone else can help out... :iono:

St XTA would be KW V2 because only rebound is adjustable. V3 have compression and rebound adjustable. But KW don't offer V2 for our platform.

Hmmm... okey :) Thanks! Good to know!
I know there's no V2 but i though it was ST X -> XA -> XTA just as it is KW V1 -> V2 -> V3 :p
Thanks though :D

ST X=V1
ST XA= V2
ST XTA = V2 with adjustable top hat ( camber......)

Okaaaaaaaaay! Now i got it!! thanks man! :D
I'm still debating wether to get just the X or the XTA :/ roads are sometimes bad and bumpy so would i be better off with the XTA's ?

ST needs to make a 2-way adjustable coilover system already (a la KW V3) *crossing fingers

V3 is a 3-way adjustable.... Hence the "3" in V3. Height, rebound and compression.

That's basically a RCE T2 or KW V3. To make things affordable, ST has provided a reasonable solution for the enthusiast that does not require you to find the proper adjustments for your car. This takes a lot of the "headaches" in damper tuning. :)

I wondered about these, didnt know what the description meant as to adjustment if it was just height or what...someone buy these, extensively use them and get a shock dyno and post it to this thread please :) im interested if i see and hear good things...
