I'm getting a quote from Fred @ BTM Performance to fit mine - he's a KW dealer
I'll let you know what he says.
Russ.
my thoughts exactly. I dont know how uprated the shocks are on the kw setup. They cant tell me either. It will be an upgrade though. Height adjustability will help if you corner weight it and get the front rear distribution right. Slam it to the floor and no it wont help. The suspension on the 197 is very good but its still a compromise and can be improved if you go for a track only sort of setup. I am sourcing some oe cup chassis springs and am going to get them tested to find what rates they are then decide myself what increase in stiffness i want. Ast are then going to make a full coilover (front and rear not just spring and damper on the back like the kw stuff) kit for me using eibach race springs. Hopefully will have it within a month or so.
To be fair I am sure the kw stuff is good and I have heard some issues with the ast stuff but the fact I get some involvement in spec and the fact it will include fully adj rear unit not a spring perch should make it a great setup. Want solid top mounts too now LOL
Does anyone have a link for solid top mounts???
Cant find them on the kam racing site :s
If anyone can help PM please, thanks.
kam racing site is being updated at the moment.
Spoke to kw today and they told me the rating of their springs. Suprisingly soft! Once i know the rate of the standard spring i will post up all the results. If anyone has a spare 197 front spring please please please send it to me. I will return it.
