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

2 Worst Things About Stock Cars Corrected on this 2010 VW Passat

I hate OEM wheels, and I hate stock ride height. As soon as you change that, even a Ford Fiesta can look the part. This customers 2010 Volkswagen Passat did just that. They geared up the car with some 20 inch Axis Penta Wheels and then lowered it on H&R Coilovers. The Axis 1 piece cast wheel is a perfect option for those wanting a great look and proper fitment. The H&R Coilovers keep the ride comfortable, yet improve the handling over the stock tendency to dive and roll. Check out more Volkswagen Performance Racing Parts Here.

Under the KW Suspension USA dealer program, Vivid Racing was one of the top 3 dealers in the country and that had its rewards. KW Germany invited one of our crew to attend the 24 Hours of Nurburgring race a couple weeks ago in Germany. We sent our very own Performance Specialist, Jon Guerra, to report back.
