KW V3 Black Friday

Post by Fishy Dave » Fri Nov 24, 2017 3:11 pm

This seems a decent price: https://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performa ... ear-5-35mm

£1650 inc. VAT and delivery. I think it's the cheapest price i've seen since the exchange rate swung against us, anywhere cheaper?

That's what I paid from awesome gti about 4 weeks ago with the £300 off V3's deal.

Whats partly stopping me is the frustration that KW havent made them easy to fit, needing spacers for the 224 alloys or changing the springs to linear. Then I look at the clubsport for more money again. Maybe those BC racing at just over £700 do make sense?

Very frustrating indeed as they seem to be a good choice for a more road orientated Z. Do the bilsteins have the same issue? (I assume they're not linear springs on the PSS9/10?)

I know plenty of people run 10/12mm spacers on our cars but I can't believe the tyres won't rub somewhere as there doesn't look to be much room with the car totally standard! I'm sure they're fine on the run to sainsburys or taking the odd roundabout a little briskly, but would they still clear when taking a heavily cambered, uphill hairpin at maximum attack? :driving:

I had 12mm spacers front and back on eibach springs with stock shocks. Fronts only rubs a tiny bit under spirited driving, the rears depends on the tyre I had MPSS 95Y which didn't rub at all, but then fitted a pair of same tyre/size but 99Y which rubbed so I had to remove the rear spacers.

Being lowered no doubt tipped it past the point of no return, so to speak. :) Still, going by the measurements I made on mine I'm surprised it wasn't more evident, even considering how the wheel moves in compression.

I've had cars that rubbed in the past (after being assured it wouldn't) and even lightly dinged an arch because of it. It led me down a path of rolling arches, painting and ultimately, holding back when I just wanted to push a little more. That said, they do look bloody good spaced and lowered :D

don't be held up on linear spring rates guys, the progressive spring sets the come on the v3s are well up to the task of road and track, linear really steps away from comfort and more performance.....
think of it like this the GTS cayman / boxster is your progressive spring, your linear spring is you GT4......

Well, I keep looking at that V3 deal and can live with the thought of the spacers all round, would look good actually, but then the Bilstein PSS10 appeals by having one simple, large adjuster knob on the bottom. The techie side of me like the thought of having the separate bump and rebound of the KWV3, but realistically what I want is to have the compliance on the road then get to a trackday, make simple adjustments and job done.
Any deals on the PSS10? Also, Demon Tweeks seem to list PSS9 for our cars, is that a misprint?
