N.A. Debut: 1M-Specific KW V3 Pictures
KW just sent these to us for evaluation at MSR Houston. A lucky owner here will have these on his car soon
As many of you know, KW recently redesigned the damper adjustment mechanism. Compression and rebound settings can be changed independently by simply rotating knobs mounted on the dampers. There are 12 clicks for compression; 18 clicks for rebound. Special thanks to Bob and Chris at KW. Stay tuned. Last edited by Richard@M-World; 07-21-2011 at 09:47 PM.. |

Yes - compression and rebound independently adjustable.
Progressive springs are made such that some coils of the spring would bind before others during compression. KW lists V3's springs as progressive on their application list, but if you look at the springs, the front might be slighly progressive at the limit; the rear is really a linear spring that utilizes stock lower mount for noise insulation.

Great work Richard! I'm looking forward to a set of these for the 1M too and look forward to the comparison and settings for street/track use.

I would recommend the Clubsports if you are intending to track the 1M and if a fast road application is all you are after then the V3's will be spot on.... |

Will do. The car's owner is a club racing driver himself, and our test driver is Tony R. who won 2008 Porsche GT3 Cup. We will tune the dampers and provide recommended settings for the street and track.

Very cool Richard! Sorry I haven't sent you an email just yet, been tied up with a few things.
I'm looking forward to seeing the results. What sets you guys apart from most vendors is that you guys really go out and do some track testing! Amazing work!
