On the subject of KW and helper springs...
Does the V3s come with helper springs or are they only needed on setups with linear springs (ie. Clubsport)? With progressive springs unseat themselves at full droop or is this only prone to linear springs? Sorry if I have misunderstood some basic knowledge along the way |

The springs used for V3 are soft enough such that they compress sufficiently (from full droop to normal ride height) by the weight of the car to deliver proper ride heights. For Clubsport, higher rate springs are used. Therefore, the springs may not compress sufficiently by the weight of the car to reach a reasonable ride height. To address this, the front axle lower spring perches have to be moved down to "lower the car" if you will. But this creates a gap between the spring and the spring perches. That's why helpers are added. Looking at it using math: (The numbers are made up)
Solution: move spring perch down by 1 in. New problem: there is a 1 in gap between spring and perches at full droop. New solution: add helper spring. This may be a bit confusing so let me know if this makes sense.

That makes perfect sense and you sir are a scholar My only concern was the V3 springs possibly unseating from the car going on a lift (No weight of car) Last edited by BIU; 01-03-2013 at 10:24 PM.. |

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
