As I was young, I remember the old K&W catalogue in this flashy purple tone and lots of naked womens.
Funny to see this history.
True.
Anno 2019 => #metoo :)
KW v3's come with a lifetime warranty. So do all their street coils the v1, v2 and street comfort. That sold me, along with ride quality and performance.
Still happy with them? I own a 2013.5 VW GLI And am thinking about the street/comfort model cos I drive it daily a whole bunch . Any words of wisdom?
Motordyne G35 how about the club sport ? Are they lifetime warranty ?!?!?
My v1s are coming for my e92 335xi today. I did not know about the lifetime warranty that is awesome I normally get my shit from fcp euro for the lifetime warranty but they didn't carry kw coils.
@@tjbenavidaz6283 how has your experience been with them?? I’m looking to get the V1s for my E46 325xi

How are they ?
Why no mention of KW’s history with Koni? Seems like a valid point to bring up.
We will bring you more facts about KW in our 5 things series stay tuned 👀👀
I’m sold! This kid can sell salt to a slug. Give him a raise!
Thankyou so much, about to put coilovers on my mk2 audi tts because the shocks are failing. Needed help choosing
Interested in the inner workings of VMR Wheels!
i have varient 3's they are amazing
Tell something more about KV 3
How's the comfort?
@Piotr Mowka @MWAclanGaming Hello, I have the K&W V3 since 3 weeks now. Car is Lexus IS300 mk1.
Obviously, I lack experience and any advice of me should be taken with all the grains of salt necessary. My pals in my teenage times did tuning, but they putted cheap things that you can find in our remote area, like Bilstein coils and so. But I can compare it to my original Lexus IS300 damper, that seems to be a special Tein specifically made for Lexus (green coating is very typical).
The original Lexus suspension where strongly oriented in direction of comfort, the K&W V3 helped a lot to not loose this comfort in a significant way. With no surprise, in the "standard installation setting", the car runs smooth over imperfections, but doesn't sag when turning. In the orig setting, it has always a form of elasticity that can be felt in the behavior of the car, it's not crashy, it's not race-car like. For those who know, the standard "from factory" setup is a lot like the Ferrari factory setting. It remember me a lot of the Ferrari F360 Modena, that had this kind of gentle but then furious and solid behavior. The Audi R8 also behaves a little bit like this.
The much cheaper Bilstein coils of my teenage times where feeling 200 times more crashy than that, they had sometimes problems to follow the complexity of the road.
The coilovers are lower by default in regard to the oem. Even if I would not want to lower my car, I would loose 2 centimeters. For the Lexus, I would nor go lower than 2.8cm, it's what I did, but I am at the absolute limit of beeing so low that it becomes a handicap. 2.5 / 2.8 cm should be a good goal to aim. Car is lowered but the usability of this setting stays great.
The low weight wheels paired to those coilovers are extremely unforgiving. You feel the road more through the steering and the car reacts faster. The Is300 already had a very direct driving response, but it was fastened a bit with this installation, that means that we are near race-car territory.
What has become evident, is that you can rund much more at the point of rotation and play with it. With the original suspensions, the car tend to go into understeer and you needed to play with the wheel and subtle smash of the gas for oversteering. With this setting, I need to brake less and the car will stay in an in-between position between under and oversteer, waiting for my signal of what need to be done. I feel that to be a very safe behavior.
On the modern european K&W V3, they have dropped the low and fast rebound and compression settings. You have standard independant compression and rebound settings. But they have bettered the cooling of the coilover, adding an external tank along the coil. I already tested the car on several mountain roads, during half day runs, and they are fantastic for their endurance (spots : St-Cergue Uphill, Tremola Passstrasse, Les enfers / St-Ursanne, Jaunpass).
I must underline that I will vey probably play much more with this setting. For the moment, the tail is very very planted for me, especially on little mountain roads, I need it to be a little bit more jumpy/slidy and break loose more often, this helps the car to rotate faster. For the moment, I have too much grip at the back. :-)
The truth about Ground Control... would be a good one
History of mb Motorsport wheels? Just picked up a set of mb battles for my is300 and would like to know more about them
KW’s are usually regarded as the best coilovers on the 370z forum and I wish I could afford them! Stance are my go to for suspension, so history on Stance?

Does anyone know who makes/ name of that star shaped rim over his left shoulder? Thanks
Fortune auto next?

The only thing about the "truth" of KW that you missed to mention, how do they compare to the competition? Seriously, how do they compare to öhlins coilovers? Yes, I know that they make a great product based on the reviews on other sites, but it would be great to hear about the "truth" in a comparison with other leading brands.
Anyone know who’s car is in the clip starting at 3:03? Just any background info would be dope
Turns out the driver is Samuel Hubinette and the car was an SRT8 Charger used in the 2007 FD season!
Tein please! 💖 Love your videos mate!
We'll put it on the docket!
Kw v3 street capable? Been looking at them and they seem perfect for tracking but the car does see some street use too. I'm not concerned with utmost comfort just enough cushion that my rims won't get smashed on bumps since I'm running 19x10 with 255/35r19 tires
Def feel the concern man I would not want to smash my wheels either 😂 Shoot us and email at shop@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you with your questions 👍
Do you Recommend ST suspensions? How are they?
For sure! It is one of out most popular selling kits! Shoot us an email sometime if you ever have questions about suspension kits or fitment we would love to help!
When they came into america they created 100k springs for their fat consumers
Do Fortune Auto please
We'll put it on the docket!

We will definitely do Ambit soon!
Awesome! I get excited everytime I see your guys' vids in my sub box, I want to get into a career similar to what you guys do!
What ever happened to the Cragar video?
I'm going to find out about KW's customer service. My right front Clubsport started leaking recently. The challenge? I bought them on Ebay from a salvage yard a couple of years ago ( I don't expect free warranty work, I expect to pay for the service). At least their US facility is only an hours drive from me.
Thats actually awesome there so close! Sucks though you are having that issue!
Can you do one about bc racing
Koni Suspension please
What is the name the bronze Rims in the middle row far left, some one please I think I might have end my 2 year search for the right rims

K Sports next?
How dare you diss KW's wheels! The KW Turbo's are some of the most badass wheels you can get for your european car.
Can you review airone coilovers from Malaysia
What they don’t want you to know is that the ST coils use the KW V1 strut
How is comfort compared to OEM?
So maybe get KW is what I’m picking up
You should do a video on Öhlins
Great suggestion man! 👍
Fitment Industries surly a company that does everything from mountain bike suspension to ultra high end car suspension would have an interesting history
The Clubsport 2 ways, seem to be the cheapest quality coilover for Mustang S550. The other 2 ways other than MCS, and maybe the MCS, look like they may all be made by the same, likely Chinese, company.
Hmm did i understand that the V1 its for the Daily var and the V3 its for racing cars
Do Vmaxx!
Do a video on bc coilovers
Do Tein!!!!
We'll put it on the docket!
Please do DUB 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
