KW V2 mechanical specifics

mikead_99 · 03-20-2009, 02:10 PM

Guys,

I'm trying to hunt down some specs on the V2's so I can order a camber kit to go along with them, but I am having no luck through the vendor or through KW. Hopefully someone out here can answer these questions.

a.) Do the fronts use the oem upper spring perch? If not, do you know the size of the perch used?
b.) What size is the threaded upper shaft? M12 or M14?

Any help here would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Mike

Talked to him yesterday, apparently there are some variations out there. He gave me his thoughts, but I wouldn't be certain until I had the camber kit I ordered from him and the V2's in hand.

Just for anyone else that may want this information, a. is answered, they do use the oem perch....

yes, you can use the OEM upper perch.

I believe it is M12..i will double check. Why?

ps- make sure you call KW north america and ask for the end link nuts (revised loc-tite). See this thread:

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I guess part of the Vorshlag kit includes a nut for the strut shaft, you need to specify size in the order.

edit to add: thanks for the heads up on the end-link nuts, I'll have to check the kit once it comes in.

I don't know the answer to your questions, but why don't you just get the KW camber plate that comes with the KW Clubsports?

mikead_99 · 03-22-2009, 07:22 AM

WAY, I did actually think about picking up the Club Sports, but the price difference between just getting V2's and a kit and the CS is enough to make me not want to go that route, that and the linear springs on CS doesn't fit what I want from this as I will want to keep this pretty comfortable for street use. I haven't seen the CS camber plate sold stand alone either, so Vorshlag seems the simplest route. If worst comes to worst I will just wait until my V2s are here and see what I have, but I was hoping to have all parts arrive at once so I could install them right away.
