KW varient 3 have been recamended for me by several members on the board...I have heard nothing but good things about them, but i know nothing about them...I cant even say i know if KW is a quality company or not...I know more about the JDM suspension companies, but im really interested in how these KW would perform for a daily driven s2000...

pictures, reviews, installs will all help me out...Im open to all opinions...Thanks!

damn no one responded...

just to strike some more thought,

Zeal b6 vs. KW version 3

I got a lot of information about the Zeals today, not many people know of the KW though...From what i hear KW doesn't have ass much R&D as a JDM company would

 

So in all honesty...the Zeal shocks aren't even in the same league as the KW...

Normally not a spec whore but just check out some of the differences.

KW is is full remote resevoir system on all the shocks...the Function B6 isn't
KW has 14 way low speed compression and infinite rebound...both independent of each other.
Function B6 is six way compression and rebound together.

The advantages of the B6 that are it has has an aluminum construction(some weight savings) and that it's monotube versus twin tube. However I will say monotube isn't always the best, it depends upon your implementation. Tein has monotube in it's RA and above line and there have been mixed reviews about how well the damp.

*shrug* the KW's are too new for the s2000 to say if there will be problems down the road, but I've heard a number of issues about the B6. Could the KW develop the same problems sure...but I think they'll made of stouter material(one of the advantages to the stainless steel construction).

As to R&D I wouldn't say that the german companies give anything up to the japanese. There are a number of very good german suspensions out there.

That said...what the KW's are is a very streetable track suspension. If what you're looking for is a total street suspension you actually may be better off looking at another suspension. The Billstien PSS9. It may suit your needs better than either at significantly cheaper price.

Personally I'm never much of a fan of the value of most JDM parts...they tend to be 30-50% more expensive than they should and rely way more on their actual name than on their performance. The function B6 would be a great $1400 suspension...at $2K+ it's a complete rip off.

 

Try this review:

This guy (as stated from this and previous reviews had both both Teins and more exotic (JRZs and Penske D/As) on his car before:

BTW - I think KWs are probably one of the best kits you can get short of the more exotic setups (Moton, JRZ, Koni 2812s, or Penske).

 

Just FYI, the HP Freaks page has outdated MSRP pricing. Call before you buy

 

they quoted me 1880$ i believe and about 60$ to ship...they are in stock also

Gruppe-S is getting back to me on the B6...I can't afford to waist money on this buy, i dont want to be a ginny pig for the KW, but i like what i hear about them...

Im just wondering how hard the KW will be to figure out...theirs a lot of adjustment

 

frank..why are you wanting to get rid of your current set-up... i have the flexs also and wasnt happy with the ride at first but then i adjusted it to were i wanted until i was happy with the ride!!... made a big difference..but took a lot of time to get it were i wanted it!!

i dont like the idea of using stock suspension parts with the KW...i don't have my stockers anymore...

 

ive been through many adjustments with the teins, still not happy...need to try something different...
