Hi,

Which is the better suspension for 90 percent rough mountain switchbacks and 10 percent track? I live in the mountains and am seldom on the freeway. Is the KW's ability to separately adjust rebound and dampening better or just make it more difficult to set up? Which works better with RS droplinks and sway bars? I am currently running H&R reds and Bilsteins with a M030 front swaybar and 24mm in the back.

I've heard great things about the KW V3's, though I've never run them. I currently run a re-sprung PSS10 with 8kg (~450 lbs)front 10kg (~560 lbs) rear springs with RS bars on Tarret drop links. The street ride is shockingly good with the dampers turned down.. And that's with solid Stomski upper mono *****/camber plate mounts. The PSS10's tuning is worlds better than the H&R green Bilstein HD's I replaced which came with the car when I acquired it.

Does anyone have experience with both Kw and pss10 and can compare them?

KW V3's have transformed my car. I have them on 80% hard and love them on the street. On the track they are perfect! I can't comment on the PSS10's but a friend of mine had them on his STI, and when he drove my car, he was amazed at how good the KW's are in my car. Granted they are two different cars, but we are both good drivers and both of us like the KW V3's. My .02...

my original stock suspension is best from 91.

lol. funny.

new decent suspension (such as the KW V3 etc) would reduce your lap times by about 5 seconds on a short track.

Sire

maybe he refers to the setup from Porsche bilstein etc. instead of s10 or kw

true .. he probably has a 964 cup.

Can you drop your car to RS height with either set?

Has anyone had both kw and pss10?

Robofc,

Off topic==sorry. How does your car handle on the track with the 22mm (M030) front & 24mm rear sway bar? Is the rear adjustable?

Thanks, Jim

The car is now neutral with whiff of understeer at the limit on the medium of three settings. Much better than on stock rear swaybar. But that is with H&R red springs. If the PSS10 or KW has higher rear spring rates relative to front, I will have to reduce the size of the rear bar to keep the balance.

Robofc: Is your car a C2 or C4?

as you can see the RS America springs, look great for city driving .. not so good for the track.
