Hey man! My car is on KW Clubsport 3 ways. I did discuss MCS vs Ohlins TTX vs JRZ etc when doing my build with Joey, but he felt the performance and compliance I was looking for could be achieved on the KW setup. Been extremely happy with how the car rides and handles since. I’ve done a little over 2500 miles on the setup now and looking forward to many more 🫡

Yeah. Coilovers make a huge difference in the car. Maybe with the extra horsepower and the other suspension mods you did made the KW's right for your car/application. I just heard that KW was a bit too firm and compliance was not that good compared to MCS. Also alot has to do with the set up of clicks and pressure in the shocks... Joey is a great suspension builder/tuner and has an amazing reputation! Hopefully you will bring the car out to So Cal again in the future as it would be great to compare!

@Rick DeMan I will hit you up if I ever can get out to New York - hopefully in 2023... In the meantime I gotta hunt down Matt Farah in Malibu, he should be easy to spot in that pink fuzzy Spyder!

Joey is a straight up magician. The car rides amazing…and believe me, Chicagoland streets definitely put it to the test.

What spring rates did you go with on the KWs?

Would love to hear reviews how the GT4 PDK performs with the 4.5.

@JAhmed is a 'baller' so im betting he is at or north of 11/13. I ended up on the MCS at 9/11 (very smooth and compliant for street) and may go higher eventually... canister pressures and compression clicks matter as well.

SpeedySpidey,

I'll just say if I was a lot and I do mean a lot younger and still working.
I'm more than likely one of the Nut-Cases that would go for it.

Yes guys I was that sort of guy back years ago anything Wild I was in on,
Terry
