KW competition 2-way adjustable Coilovers **Reviews**
Quality – as we all know the quality of any KW product is second to none. We’ve seen it and know how KW stands behind their products. I recently upgraded my JDM Coilovers to KW Competition 2A coilovers and the quality comparison was just plain unbeatable. So my review today will not be wasted on quality aspects.
Street driving reviews – Installation of my coilover swap was carefully done by Howard @ Technosquare Inc. in Torrance, CA. Few days after my installation I visited Darren @ WestEnd in Gardena for corner balancing and an alignment. As soon as I drove off the lot for a short test drive, I quickly felt how solid my suspension responded. The significant difference I’ve noticed was how the car felt during cornering and the quick, precise responsiveness of my steering. After testing the car on the same surface with different suspension setup I've come to a conclusion that the JDM coils felt like they were throwing the car around whereas my new KW coils were much more stable and felt like they were hugging the road.
Track testing reviews - I've recently attended few track events and now I have some feedback and updates on how these coilovers have significantly helped me on track. First, just like how I have mentioned about how the car felt on the street, car was just flat out stable. I've been to same track many times before and not once I have felt my car so stable in same surface condition. through the corner to delivering traction after and corner exit I have no doubt on how my car will handle. If you are local to so.cal and would like to feel the ride, come out to one of my track events and I promise to give you a ride along. You will be BLOWN AWAY!
update: recently went to Big Willow @ willow springs Raceway... I am completely blown away by the way these KW performed. I took the turn 9 at 130+ and car felt very stable through turn 8 and 9. also the turn 1 and 2 never felt so solid. I do not have any lap times as I am still trying to dial in my coils but soon I will have lap times. From the feel of my car I think I should be at about low 1:30's for now...but with everything dialed in car should be able to run high 1:20's. I will update again soon!!! KW Suspension FTW!!!!!
more pictures coming soon!!!

What kind of sets you guys use with KW coils? Camber arms, toe arms, endlinks, sway bars? I have KW3 coils and car very low. I have kinetix camber arms ja SPC toebolts going in to car,
but I was thinking if I have to change endlinks ja swaybar to get best handling?

Wow, impressive times. What tires are you running ? Trying to get into the high 29's, how much HP , i would have to guess your car is FI. My best is a 1:35.1 you much be smoking around the track.
