Kw V3 with swift springs conversion?
I've been reading a lot about KW V3 lately. Always been wanting to get into modding the handling of the car. Heard some of you are changing out V3 springs with Swift Springs. Which spring rate did you go with? I understand I may need Camber plates or some type of conversion kit with it to run. How's the ride quality?
Or Should I just go directly with clubsports to avoid all the other hassle? |

I don't understand why you'd consider V3s if you already want to change the springs on them (and before driving them?).
Either way, the Swift spring conversion is meant as an upgrade for those who already have V3s; it seems pointless to me to buy V3s just to do that. Also I find it difficult to make any kind of recommendation whatsoever (kit/spring rate/camber plate/ etc) when you don't even provide any kind of info whatsoever about the use you have for the car. In any case, V3s ride pretty smooth. The CS are a little stiffer but still plenty streetable imho. |

hmmmm thats a completely false statement, the v3 / Cs may Look kinda the same but the valving setup is very different, ones design for street performance and ones designed for track tyres and track work in mind.... please dont lead people to believe the v3 and Cs are "basically" the same as their not, If anyone is in doubt, drop Kw a line and ask them the differences ;-)
