KW Coilovers HLS Suspension Video Makes Sense

Dan — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:11:10 +0000

Not only are KW coilovers engineered on a 7 post lift designed for an F1 car, they also feature street comforts for daily drivers like the HLS system. The HLS (Hydraulic Lift System) is an add on component for the KW coilovers so you can raise and lower your car at the touch of a button. Great for city environments or those track guys with a very lowered car to get on and off the trailer. Check out the KW Suspension Coilover HLS Video Below. You can find all our KW Coilovers on our Performance Store Here.

And as a little bonus, check out KW’s recent video on their Formula D drivers using the KW Coilovers.

KW Suspension for New Makes and Models

Cole Kelly — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:01:16 +0000

When looking for the blend of comfort and performance, KW Suspension is Vivid Racing’s choice for most make and models. Among their best coilovers are the KW Variant 3’s that allow the driver to create a customized suspension feel and adjust the ride height. The ease of change also allows for a street setting to be used for daily driving and then an adjustment can provide your car the stiff performance needed on the track.

New to the KW Suspension catalog is the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Variant 3 coilover. With the Camaro being a retro styled car and encompassing new technology throughout, KW Suspension set out to improve the ride and handling of this hot selling muscle car. With the same state-of-the-art technology found in the V3 coilovers for every other make and model, KW was able to fine tune the Camaro’s handling and lower the car to improve the style.

Also added to the list of cars is the Nissan 370Z. V3 coilovers could make the otherwise stock 370Z to be ready for the track because of the separate and independent compression and rebound damping options.

KW Coilovers – Leading Technology in Suspension Performance

Just thought I would drop a special note about KW Suspension. KW has become a strong part of what Vivid Racing recommends to its customers. With increasing sales in the Porsche, Honda S2000, and BMW market, it is obvious why. As a record breaking winner at the 24hours of Nurburgring, KW has some of the best technology to develop suspension that makes sense. Their 7 post shock dyno allows them to develop a product that handles and rides BETTER then stock. No they dont have 436 way adjustable dampening and cool camber plates. But they do have valving, spring rates, and measured fluid to the “T” which allows them to build a coilover that will continually perform lap after lap. For those worried about what type of shock will be better on the street or the track, now there is no reason, because KW Suspension is the best choice for both. Their Variant 3 (V3) product is the top of the line for weekend racers with those wanting more can move up to the ClubSport line. Check out our KW Coilover catalog featuring great products for the new Nissan GTR, BMW M3, Porsche 996, and more here – http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/kw-m-236.html

This customer of ours sent us pictures of his Mercedes E-Class taking it to the road course hard. This car has been outfitted with some help from Vivid Racing. Besides the Kleeman Supercharger Kit, this customer has also helped the handling with the addition of some KW Variant 2 Coilovers. Putting the power to the wheels, he has also added a Quaife differential. Check out some pictures of this car doing what it does best, rip!

Eisenmann to Release Exhaust System for R35 GT-R

Eisenmann has long been the premier exhaust system for European cars, but now they have gone a new direction. With the release of the exhaust for the Nissan R35 GT-R, Eisenmann will have produced their first system for a Japanesse vehicle.

With the help of KW suspension, Eisenmann imported a Nissan R35 GT-R into Germany to R&D a performance system like any other. With the help of a flow simulation machine, wave form analysis and flow testing of the actual car, Eisenmann was able to produce an exhaust system that gives the most power, best sound and still be a direct bolt on. To ensure their research was spot on, Eisenmann performed extensive testing at Hockenheimring as well as the Nurburgring.

Constructed of 304 stainless steel and featuring 120mm exhaust tips, each system is hand built bolt on constructed. With that attention to detail and one of a kind R&D, you can be sure this exhaust will be fitting for the Eisenmann name.

Keep an eye out for the release. Until then, check out Vivid Racing’s entire Eisenmann line here – http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/eisenmann-m-165.html
