Hi

A tuner threw out the idea of installing the Kw variants 3 in my car. He said it will improve the car but I didn’t really ask him much about the detail.

For those that have them installed. How much difference does it make? Is it worth it?

Thanks

Can only speak of my experience with KW v3 on my Subaru. HUGE improvement over stock. [As it is, my heavily modified Subaru handles dip/bumps on on-ramps better than the stock 991.2. Not surprising, but made me realize how much the chassis of an econobox could be to handle like a proper car.]

The KW v3 bsolutely a HUGE improvement. Smoother ride than stock. Absorbs the big and small bumps better. Height adjustable. Handles the elements, and continue to look new.

Loved them, and would definitely get them again for any other car that they make them for.

Another excellent option I hear is Bilstein B16

Love my KW V3s on my 991. Night and day difference.

I wish there could be a comparison of Bilstein B16 and KW v3, but I doubt it since why would anyone get the other, if they already have either.
I guess either is a fine choice.

I would just be disappointed a bit to lose PASM. I think if I was going to delete PASM I would go for the Ohlins R&T but KW are very good.

I wonder if KW will release their Plug-N-Play electronic coilovers for 991 like they have for F80 M3

I drove my 991.2 for a few thousand miles before putting on the KW and I don't miss the PASM. I have the KWs dialed in just right. I have them set essentially between OEM PASM normal and sport haha

If you want coilovers with a axle lift. Only the V3 and Techart offer that. If you don’t need the axle lift you will save quite a bit and lose PASM adjustability. Why not install springs and get a DSC module to fine tune your dampening.

I am VERY happy with this combo but will probably go DSC + KWV3 next year.

do you know what bump and rebound settings you're currently running front and rear?

SlickOne

Good question. I honestly don’t recall. I played around for a little bit before leaving it alone.

I also consider Ohlin RnT

Beside Pasm deleted, is everything else retained? Things like fornt lift, pdcc, rws?

Just get something PASM compatible + DSC. BAM.

Took to post 13 to get the right answer. Plus DSC transforms PASM. If me I would go DSC first and probably would not mess with coil overs. Porsche tuned the suspension well but DSC makes it incredible. The fault is in the PASM controller, not the suspension bits. Although I’m not unhappy with my stock setup.
