KW Spring Rates ?????

Never used KWs before. Used ground control on a couple prior BMWs. Ground Control always let me spec the spring rates I preferred.

What are the KW spring rates? Can you spec your own spring rates, or locked into their standard springs? Thanks.

I believe they are progressive springs, and I have never heard of anyone having built to spec KW springs, but am not sure on this.

It depends... KW Clubsport range does not use progressive springs... they are linear.

Maybe you should point out which coilovers are you looking at...

KW Clubsports are also the only ones with adjustable front camber plates.

Interested in the V1 or the V2. What are the spring rates for those setups? Thanks!
