KW V3's VS MCA REDS?

[BlueBlazeRacer]

Ended up going with V3's. My basis on this was that I wanted double adjustable because there are some race sites that require just a little bit of independent tuning. MCA golds would have cost me too much for that. I got a stupid cheap deal on the V3's. They said it came with 343/400(6k/7k) but what I got was 229/286(4k/5k). That's not a huge deal as H&R springs is really close to me so I can order what I need. I've heard for AutoX you just swap the spring front to back, run the stiffer spring up front and the soft in the rear. I will try it out this weekend.

Where are you located is the question. Here in Australia you would be literally insane or have to be sponsored or just want something different for shits and giggles to use something like KW's over MCA's. If you are located wherever Kw's are made and they have good service then they may just be the way to go. I know though I wouldn't use anything but these. They perform better, have better support and ride better than any other coilover I've driven on. My suggestion is that if you can get MCA's; Then do it.

Locally at our track meets every 3 weeks or so we get about 12-20 cars and it's usually a mix of 1 bilstein, 1 TOG (Chinese crap that they pass off as their own product) and then a mix of 50% Red 30% Purple or XR and the rest Blues.

I live in the Ohio (US). I really want to try the MCA Reds (something diff). It seems like everyone has the KW v3s. The main problem is they are located in Australia which would make it harder / more expensive if I had any issues.

You could talk to the Folks at Nameless about getting some MCA's too

The suspension itself is well priced especially with the us dollar. Shipping is what would cost you id think. Send them an email and see if they have any ideas on shipping. Id borrow you mine to try but you have to pay for my airfares.

And yes nameless are running mca golds on their rally car. They know who to go to for performance
