KW clubsports adjusting and opinions

robc1976 · 04-25-2014, 11:29 PM

I currently have ohlins R/T and my buddy got a hell of a deal on some KW clubsports and is willing to trade me for my ohlins and they both have about the same miles. He is more into ride comfort and less track. He has no need for camber plates as I do. I have a few questions for those who own these coilovers as I need to know the camber values (Wich mark = about how much camber or what max camber is so I have a reference point).

1. How comfortable are these since they are more govenored toward track?
2. How many clicks are the dampner adjustments (I.E ohlins are 32 clicks).
3. Am I correct that the dampner is on bottom and re-bound are on top? (Have never had coilovers that have had this many adjustments) lol!
4. Any suggestions from you guys who use these on the street on what settings to use?
5. Well the top hats work with stock strut bar? (I have the bmw performance strut brace used in conjunction with stock bars).

I noticed the dampner and ground is adjusted with a Allen and the kit didn't come with a adjuster knob like my ohlins?
