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

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

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...

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.

JoeHK · 06-20-2014, 07:54 AM

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

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

JoeHK · 06-20-2014, 10:24 AM

Okaaaaaaaaay! Now i got it!! thanks man!

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

wootwoot · 08-11-2014, 12:26 PM

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.

cdrazic93 · 08-11-2014, 01:38 PM

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...
